When a market moves this fast, your financing needs to be faster.

Many buyers make the mistake of waiting to find "the one" before talking to a lender. In a competitive seller's market, submitting an offer without a localized, verified pre-approval letter is setting you up for rejection. Sellers are receiving multiple offers and are looking for guarantees. A pre-approval from a trusted credit union shows sellers that your money is secured locally by people who understand the Harford County appraisal and closing process.
