The First Step to Buying a Home? Get Pre-Approved

If there’s one piece of advice I give every buyer, it’s this: get pre-approved before you start house hunting.
So many buyers fall in love with a home, only to find out later it’s out of their budget—or worse, they lose it to another buyer because they weren’t ready to move fast.

Here’s why pre-approval is a game-changer:
🏡 You know exactly what you can afford—no guessing.
💰 You have stronger negotiating power—sellers take you seriously.
⏳ You move faster when you find “the one”—no delays.

And here’s the best part: pre-approval doesn’t lock you into a specific loan. It just gives you clarity and confidence.

When I work with buyers, I make sure they’re financially prepared from day one so there are no surprises, no stress, and no wasted time.

I sat down with Sherry Sutton on Heart of the Hustle Podcast to talk about why pre-approval is the most important step in the home-buying process.
