Keys to purchasing Real Estate in Colorado Springs:

Understanding the Pre-Approval Process

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, Nov 03, 2010 - The house shopping process can be somewhat complicated and the same can be said for the loan shopping experience. Before you get to the fun of house touring and decision-making for your new life, a prospective home buyer needs to be pre-approved and fully understand what the pre-approval process entails.
"Pre-approval is more involved than just making an appointment," says Joe Clement, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Properties, Inc.. "The lender needs to gather all of the required information in order to offer you a loan, and your credit report will need to be checked." At the time of the appointment, you will need to bring certain documents with you to verify your identity and assets, adds Clement.
These documents include:

A most recent W-2 (or entire tax form if self-employed)
A copy of a recent bank statement (including any money market or savings accounts)
Proof of IRAs, retirement accounts, stocks or mutual funds
Your driver's license
A recent paystub from work
An application fee (depending on the lender--be sure to ask about this prior to your appointment)

If the bank likes what it sees at the end of this process, you'll receive your good faith estimate (GFE) -- a document telling you the likely terms you'll receive including the interest rate, loan type and closing costs. "From there, you will be able to tell what price range of homes in Colorado Springs to focus your time and energy on. It will also prevent you from getting your hopes set too high," says Clement.
It is suggested that you repeat this process with multiple Colorado Springs lenders in order to comparison-shop. With multiple GFEs in hand, you now have room for negotiation by comparing the offers. Don't accept the first offer you get; rather, look for hidden fees in each estimate and see which option works best for your financial situation. "Don't worry about hurting your credit score; credit scoring recognizes multiple checks in succession as part of the loan-shopping process and will not penalize you for doing so," says Clement.
Remember: just because you are pre-approved does not mean you are guaranteed to receive a loan from that lender. The actual loan is granted after the bank conducts an appraisal to make sure you aren't paying more than the house's value. This prevents you from over-paying and protects the bank against any buyers who may default on the loan in the future.
