Introducing Our Power Buying Approach^TM

Today’s housing market is competitive. When you find the home you want to buy, you need to be ready to make an offer quickly. On top of that, you may need to beat out other offers. The stronger your approval, the better your chances are.

Our Power Buying Process has three levels of approval to help you make the strongest offer:

Prequalified Approval

You answer a few simple questions, and we’ll check your credit. Based on that information, we’ll give you and your real estate agent a Prequalified Approval Letter showing how much you can borrow so you know what you can afford.
Verified Approval^§

Get the strength of a cash buyer with a Verified Approval Letter. After checking your credit history, a mortgage specialist will verify your income and assets, then grant you a Verified Approval Letter within 24 hours of receiving all required documentation. By allowing us to verify more of your information, you can be even more confident you’ll close on a new home. If you don’t close based on our review, we’ll pay you $1,000.
