Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage in Florida

Getting pre-approved is the most important first step when buying a home. A mortgage pre-approval shows sellers you’re serious and helps you shop with a clear budget before you start touring homes.

As a local Florida mortgage broker, I’ll review your income, credit, and assets upfront so you know your options and can make strong offers with confidence.

What Is a Mortgage Pre-Approval?

A pre-approval is a lender-reviewed estimate of how much home you can afford based on verified information—typically income, assets, and credit. Unlike a simple pre-qualification, a true pre-approval strengthens your offer and helps prevent delays once you’re under contract.

Why Getting Pre-Approved Matters

  • Confirms your home buying budget
  • Makes your offer stronger with sellers
  • Helps you move faster in competitive markets
  • Identifies potential issues early
  • Reduces stress during underwriting

What You’ll Need for Pre-Approval

Most buyers can complete pre-approval quickly with a few basic items. If you don’t have everything yet, that’s okay—start anyway and we’ll map it out.

  • Income documentation (paystubs or self-employed info)
  • Asset statements (bank accounts)
  • Credit review
  • Property info (if you already have a home picked out)
