Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should you get pre-approved for a mortgage?

The best time to get pre-approved for a mortgage is between 1 and 4 months before buying a home. Start the pre-approval at least 1 month in advance. And wait until you're within 4 months of buying a place.

We check your credit before issuing a pre-approval letter. Your credit score determines how much you can afford and the type of loan, interest rate, and monthly payment. It expires in 4 months. After that, we restart the pre-approval process with another credit check.

How long is a mortgage pre-approval good for?

Should you get pre-approved by multiple lenders?

Will a mortgage credit check lower your score?
