Should I get pre-approved before we start looking?
Absolutely. Pre-approval clarifies your budget, strengthens your offer, and helps you move quickly in a competitive market.

Typical upfront costs include earnest money, inspections, and appraisal fees. Closing costs and your down payment are paid at closing, not upfront.
