Preliminary Steps to a Mortgage
When it comes to buying a home, applying for your mortgage is the very first step. Obtaining your mortgage involves several preliminary actions including:
- Getting access to your credit report
- Receiving a pre-approval
- Being pre-qualified
- Seeking the perfect rate
Understanding Your Credit Score
The very first step is ordering a copy of your credit score. Your bank will be able to send you this for free upon request. A potential lender will look at your credit report to help indicate your reliability as a mortgage candidate.
A healthy credit score will make lenders more likely to work with you. If you are interested in purchasing a home, it’s a good idea to practice excellent credit skills for the months and years leading up to the purchase.
What's Next:
Being Pre-Approved
A pre-approval application includes detailed information, such as:
- Credit score
- Existing debt
- Income
- Assets
- Employment status
The pre-approval will reflect the maximum amount in which you are eligible to borrow, as well as the interest rate.
Qualifying for Your Mortgage
To qualify for a mortgage, our brokers will take into consideration your income and expenses to ensure you can afford the amount you are asking for and pay it back.
Shopping for Rates

- Interest rates
- Amortization periods
- Mortgage terms
- Fees
- Payment options
- Penalties
- Early mortgage repayment
- Transferring of mortgage
Our brokers are happy to help guide you through this stage of the process to help you better understand the conditions of your mortgage.
