• Get pre-approved

• Start gathering your financial documents such as:

  • Pay statements

  • Tax returns

  • Bank statements

• Compile a list of your needs and wants – for example:

  • Are school systems important to you?

  • Do you want to be close to work?

  • Is being close to family important?

  • How many bedrooms / bathrooms do you need?

  • Do you have pets that need a fenced in yard?
