Are you planning
to buy your first home?

Here are five tips to help you in this processApply Online
1

Get to know your credit score and history.

Your credit score is taken into account as criteria to evaluate your mortgage application. Check and access your credit report before signing a purchase agreement. This way, you will obtain a more accurate product and interest offer, and you will be able to identify the factors that negatively impact your credit. You may access your credit report at annualcreditreport.com.

2

Determine the area you want to live in.

Visit the area to identify and become familiar with its pros and cons. 

3

Make a list of preferences and organize them by priority.

Get together with your family to list the most important elements in terms of location, property condition, price, and amenities.

4

Know your budget.

Determine your capacity for monthly payments, closing expenses, and down payment before exploring the market. You may contact one of our mortgage officers to get pre-qualified.

5

Search for information.

After you select the area you want to live in, search for information about that market to negotiate a good offer with the seller.
