Finance Your Dream Home in Canton Critical First Steps : The Home Loan Process

With our 30 years of experience our agents make the process less overwhelming. Our agents, along with the lender, will help you stay informed throughout the process. The first thing to do is consult with a mortgage specialist (or two). If you do not already have someone in mind, we can get you in touch with a loan officer.

Before you start looking for a home to buy, it is a good idea to meet with your loan officer to get pre-approved for a loan amount. The lender gathers information about income, assets, and debts of the borrower (you) to determine how much house you may be able to afford. This includes a credit report, W-2 forms, pay stubs, Federal Tax Returns, and recent bank statements. There are a variety of different loan programs, so make sure to get pre-qualification for the specific programs that best suit your needs.
