Purchase a Home in Charlotte, NC

If you're like most people, purchasing a home is probably one of the biggest investments you'll ever make in your lifetime. If you're considering buying a home, you're likely aware of the complexity of the endeavor. Because of the numerous factors to consider when purchasing a home, it's important to prepare as best you can. At Ram Mortgage, LLC, we are dedicated to finding the loan that fits your individual needs.

Getting Started

Getting Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

A mortgage pre-approval is a lender's review of your income, assets, debts, and credit to estimate how much you may be able to borrow before you make an offer. Many sellers and real estate agents ask to see a pre-approval letter with an offer, and it helps you shop in a price range that fits your budget. A pre-qualification is a quicker estimate based on information you provide; a pre-approval goes further by reviewing your credit and documentation.

  1. Gather your documents — recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, and bank statements. See the mortgage documents checklist.
  2. Apply — complete the secure online application or call (980) 342-5726 to talk with a loan officer.
  3. Credit and document review — with your authorization, we review your credit report, income, and assets against the guidelines of the loan programs that may fit.
  4. Pre-approval decision — if the review supports it, you receive a pre-approval letter showing an estimated loan amount. Final loan approval still depends on the property appraisal, verified documentation, and underwriting.

A pre-approval is not a commitment to lend. Eligibility subject to AUS findings and program guidelines.
