Get Preapproved with Clarity and Guidance
Getting preapproved is an important step when buying a home, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our role is to help you understand what preapproval means, how it affects your buying power, and when it makes sense to move forward.
You'll work directly with Alyssa, who will guide you through the process.
What Does Preapproval Mean?
A mortgage preapproval is a review of your financial information that helps determine how much you may be able to borrow. It allows you to make informed offers and gives sellers confidence that your financing is in place.
Preapproval is not a commitment to a loan, and it doesn’t mean you’re locked into working with us. It’s simply a way to prepare thoughtfully before making a purchase.
When It Makes Sense to Get Preapproved
Preapproval is helpful when:
-
You’re actively home shopping or planning to start soon
-
You want clarity around your price range
-
You’re preparing to make an offer
-
You want to understand how different loan options affect affordability
If you’re earlier in the process and just have questions, a conversation may be a better first step.
What We Do During Preapproval
To provide an accurate preapproval, we’ll review a few key areas of your financial picture. This typically includes:
-
Income and employment history
-
Assets available for down payment and reserves
-
Credit profile
-
Existing debts and obligations
We’ll let you know exactly what’s needed and guide you through each step. Nothing is reviewed without explanation.
Will Preapproval Affect My Credit?
Preapproval does involve a credit inquiry, which is a normal part of the process. We’ll talk through timing and expectations so you feel comfortable before moving forward.
Our Role as Independent Mortgage Advisors
As an independent mortgage broker, we don’t represent a single bank. We evaluate your scenario across multiple lenders and explain the options clearly, so you don’t have to compare everything on your own.

Our goal is to help you make informed decisions — not to push you into an application before you’re ready.
