In this video, I go through the next step in the process, which is preparing your financial information. It is a good idea to get in touch with either a mortgage specialist at a bank or a mortgage broker to get a pre-approval. This will help you budget properly, ensure you are looking at houses that you can afford and give you peace of mind when making offers that you will have financing on closing.

It is also extremely important at the offer stage that you have as much documentation as possible from the mortgage specialist or broker, because it helps put the seller at ease when accepting your offer, knowing that you will be able to close on the closing date.
