Why you Save Money and time with a Loan Pre Approval - Even before you've
found a home, you can apply online for a free preapproval on a mortgage loan. If you're
preapproved, you will receive a letter telling you that Rutenberg Financial Services will
lend you up to a certain amount to finance your home, subject to a property appraisal and
other stated conditions. A preapproval means that you'll be able to look for a new home
more confidently. By arranging your financing in advance, you can act quickly when you
find the right home. You'll know exactly how much you can borrow, and the letter shows
sellers and real estate agents that you're ready and able to buy.
Why you Save Money and time with a Loan Pre Approval - You're in a stronger
position to negotiate Real Estate asking prices down with a loan pre approval. 40% of Real
Estate contracts fall thru because of financing problems. When a yard sign or MLS Listing
says Contract Pending ...other buyers and Real Estate Agents pass it up. Sellers realize
that and may not negotiate too far from the asking price. A recent concern of many sellers
is whether the premises will appraise at the amount set forth in the contract due to the
inflated market. If the contract is contingent upon financing, the purchaser may have the
right to terminate the contract and receive the refund of the down payment
