Questions to ask your home loan officer.

published march 10, 2023

Home buying comes with a lot of questions.

Meeting with a home loan officer for the first time can be overwhelming.

To make it a little easier, our team put together a list of questions to ask so you can get the most out of your meeting. Don’t worry, our home loan officers will be with you through the entire process.

1. What loan programs can I qualify for with my credit and down payment?

2. Why should I get a loan through a credit union versus a bank or a mortgage broker?

3. How do you calculate my price range?

4. What’s the difference between getting pre-approved and pre-qualified?

5. How long does the pre-approval process take?

6. What is the first step after my offer is accepted?

7. What closing costs should I expect?
