The quick tip
  • Gather your documents before you call a lender: recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, recent bank statements, and your ID. Self-employed? Add business returns.

  • Until after closing, don't open new credit cards or finance a new truck. Lenders notice. That truck can wait.

  • Getting pre-approved doesn't commit you to buying anything. It just shows you what's realistic.

Transcript

Getting pre-approved sounds about as fun as a trip to the DMV. It doesn't have to be.

Travis Wright here, with eXp Realty. A pre-approval is a letter from a lender saying about how much they'd lend you, based on your real paperwork. Sellers take your offer more seriously when you have one.

Here's a free tip. Gather your documents before you ever call a lender, and the whole thing goes way faster. Your recent pay stubs, your W-2s or tax returns, your recent bank statements, and your ID. Self-employed? Add your business returns. Then, until after closing, don't open new credit cards or finance a new truck. Lenders notice. Trust me, that truck can wait.

And getting pre-approved doesn't commit you to buying anything. It just shows you what's realistic.

Reply with the word READY, and I'll send you my free document checklist and connect you with a local lender I trust. No strings.
