Before you start looking for a home to buy, it’s a good idea to meet with your Mortgage Broker to get pre-approved for an amount. At this stage, the lender gathers information about your income, assets and debts of the borrower (you) to determine how much house you may be able to afford. This includes a credit report, pay stubs, tax returns and recent bank statements. There are a variety of different mortgage programs, so make sure to get pre-qualification for the specific programs that best suit your needs.

When you find a property you’re ready to buy, your lender will help you complete a full mortgage application, and talk you through the various fees and down payment options. The application is submitted to an underwriter, where the documents are reviewed and any required appraisals are ordered to obtain approval.
Don’t be surprised if you’re asked for additional documentation or clarification throughout the process. Once your mortgage is approved, don’t forget to set up your homeowners insurance. Your documents will be sent to your chosen lawyer, where you’ll sign for your new home and pay any remaining disbursement costs. Then, you wait for possession and get access to your keys. Congratulations, happy homeowner!
