How it works
Why get pre-qualified before you look at homes
- Know your budget and comfortable price range before you fall for a house.
- See which loan programs may fit your situation early in the process.
- Spot credit or document items early — while there’s still time to address them.
- Sellers and listing agents usually expect a financing / pre-qualification letter with an offer, so you can move quickly in a competitive market. Ask Tyler which letter fits your situation under Washington rules.
Important: Pre-qualification is not a commitment to lend; final approval depends on a full application, verification, underwriting, and property appraisal. No rates or loan terms are advertised here.

1. Get pre-qualified first
Start a secure application so we can estimate what you may qualify for — before you shop for homes.
2. Strengthen your file with documents
Share income, asset, and credit documentation so your file can support a stronger financing letter for offers. In Washington, “pre-approval” wording is reserved for underwritten files — ask Tyler what letter fits your offer.
3. Shop with your Realtor
With a clearer picture of your financing path, look at homes in your range with your real estate agent.
4. Offer & lock
When you write an offer, we help with the financing letter and discuss locking a rate when the timing is right for your contract.
5. Underwriting & appraisal
The lender reviews conditions; the property is typically appraised. We work through items as they come up.
6. Closing
Final disclosures, signing, and funding — coordinated with your other parties on the path to keys.
