Before shopping for a home it is essential that you contact a lender and apply for a loan. You need to obtain a pre-approval letter, which is a commitment in advance from a lender to give you a specific loan. Please remember that a pre-qualification is based on a lender's opinion, not on verification. Taking this important step will validate your ability to purchase when you find the right home. Equally important is the fact that a pre-approval letter from a lender carries substantial weight with a seller when making an offer. It indicates that you are a qualified buyer, that you are serious about pursuing the purchase of a new home. Also, it gives the seller peace of mind that when the home is sold it can be taken off the market and placed into "pending" status.
