Get preapproved: Here’s what you’ll need.

Before you start looking for your home, we can provide you with loan preapproval. In a competitive housing market, sellers tend to give preapproved buyers first consideration.

You’ll need:

  • Total monthly income, before and after taxes
  • Available down payment amount
  • House payment that fits your budget

Get Preapproved

You’re preapproved. You’ve found your dream home. Now what?

For a home purchase, you can help speed up the loan decision process by providing:

  • Sales contract (fully executed, signed by all parties)
  • Current pay stub(s) for most recent 30 days of pay
  • W-2 forms from the previous two years
  • Bank statement(s) for the past two months from the account(s) you’ll use for the down payment and closing costs
  • Deposit for prepaid third-party charges (ask your Mortgage Banker)
  • Personal federal income tax returns with all schedules for the past two years if you're self-employed, own 25% or more of a business or receive commission-based income.

When you’re ready, we’re ready.
