You can visualize yourself sitting by the pool or preparing your Thanksgiving meal on the Viking range, but have you done the prep work for making your dream home a reality?
In competitive markets, like the Charleston region, being prepared to make your home purchase can give you a leg up on other eager house hunters.
Pre-approval is valuable for establishing credibility with real estate agents and sellers, but more importantly, ensuring that you have an accurate understanding of how much you can afford and the payments in various loan ranges. With this knowledge, you are well-positioned to scour the market and make competitive offers.
At South Carolina Federal Credit Union we can offer pre-approval (and peace of mind) in minutes. The 10 minute process can be completed online at www.scfederal.org/mortgage. You may also apply by phone (843.569.5145) or schedule an appointment at one of our 17 convenient financial centers.
For the pre-approval process you will need:
- Social security number and date of birth for all applicants
- Employment and income verification
- The price range of homes you are considering
- Current bank and balance information
Once you are pre-approved, we’re happy to work with the realtor who finds the price tag, location and amenities you are looking for in your home.
