“I’ve been looking for a home for 2 months and agents keep pushing me to talk to a lender. I’m looking for a good deal and if I don’t find one I won’t buy. So I don’t want to waste my time or share my personal information unless I find a home. I make good money and I’ll qualify no problem. ”
***ANSWER:
I didn’t hear a question, but let me comment.
When your write your offer on a home, the sellers agent is going to ask, has the buyer been pre-qualified or pre-approved? If the answer is no, your offer may be delayed until you pre-qualify or rejected entirely.
Timing can be everything when you buy a home. And if you find that “good deal”, there will likely be other offers and you won’t get the home.
So buck up and talk with a lender and get pre-approved. It’s not going to hurt.
