Get Your Mortgage Pre-Approved Before You Sell

In the same way that you as a seller will want the buyer of your home to be pre-approved, the sellers of the home you purchase after selling your current home will look for you to be pre-approved as well.

A pre-approval is the lender's analysis of you as a borrower without a specific property being identified. This pre-approval is an actual written loan approval subject only to an appraisal on the property and a sales contract. It involves submitting an application, providing some financial documentation and choosing a loan program.

The total cost of obtaining a loan pre-approval and keeping it open for up to 120 days is $50. Although this fee is non-refundable, please note that if you need additional time for a purchase loan Residential Finance Network can extend your loan pre-approval for an additional 120 days at no charge. Also, if your loan is not approved you will be referred to one of our loan counselors and given an exact plan to help you obtain a loan approval as quickly as possible.

To obtain your loan pre-approval with RFNC.com, select Get Pre-Approved to complete and submit your pre-approval request. We will contact you within 1 business day to review your request.
