Home Buying Process
Confidential Personal Counseling to Determine Your Needs
A personal consultation will help Char’s Team find you the type of home that meets your needs. Char’s Team will also discuss your financial situation with you in order to determine the price rate that will be suitable, if you have not already been pre-qualified. It is important Char’s Team or your lender to know:
- How much of your savings you intend to use toward down payment and closing costs;
- Your annual gross income (before taxes);
- The length of time with your current employer and previous employers for the past two years;
- Your monthly payments on long term debts (such as a car payment) and credit card balances;
- Child care expenses and/or alimony, if any; and
- Whether or not there have been any bankruptcy or credit problems.
**The information you provide will be held in strict confidence.
Pre-Qualifying and Lender Requirements
Char’s Team is familiar with the lender’s requirements and will be able to determine your price range and your ability to qualify for a loan by using the above information. In this counseling session, Char’s Team will tell you approximately how much you can anticipate in closing costs needed at the time of closing. Char’s Team may suggest that you actually meet with a lender before house-hunting if there is any question regarding your qualifications or simply to get a head start on financing.
Great Reasons to be Pre-Qualified by a Lender

- You can select the best loan package without being under pressure. There are several options to choose from in today’s market.
