Frequently Asked Questions

1

Is getting pre-approved better than being pre-qualified?

Yes! A common mistake is assuming that getting pre-qualified is good enough in a busy market full of other buyers all eyeing the same home. In today's market, pre-approval is the way to go.  The Finance Group - Team Pulidos pre-approval process aims to give you an advantage, similar to if you had cash in the eyes of a seller, truly setting you above the rest.

How long does it take to receive a loan approval and a closing date?

Team Pulido is setting records in the industry with our goals of same day Upfront Underwriting, and average closings in 15-21 days. *Meanwhile, you may hear about time frames elsewhere being anywhere between 30 to 90+ days.

How does my credit score affect my ability to borrow?

Your credit score, in addition to other factors, plays a role in determining your credit-worthiness to the lender. We can offer you valuable advice and we encourage borrowers to get pre-approved first, so we can get a plan together and increasing your borrowing power for future purchase.

How do I know the right price for me?

Tamara can help determine what you qualify for after reviewing factors such as monthly income, employment history and credit score. You can then determine the mortgage debt that you're willing to bear based on your future financial goals. We’ll be glad to provide expert advice to assist you with how much you can comfortably afford to borrow.

Are there any upfront costs I need to budget for?

There are no costs currently associated with just starting your application, or receiving a pre-approval (if qualified). Depending on your loan type, you may need to consider saving up for a down payment, closing costs and fees once you have found a home. This will vary and we offer closing costs assistance subject to your individual circumstances.
