ARE YOU PRE-APPROVED?
By getting pre-approved, you know exactly how much you can afford. There is nothing worse than finding your dream home in Puget Sound, only to find out that you cannot qualify for a loan to buy it. A pre-approval also strengthens your bargaining power when negotiating with a seller.
SEARCH FOR HOMES WHEREVER YOU ARE
When buying a home, start by making a wish list and setting a budget. We can help you choose a lender to get you pre-approved for a loan, and then you're ready to start house hunting. Crafted Real Estate brokers have several methods to help you determine your wants and needs. We have found the most effective method is for everyone who will be living in your home to talk about what they want and need. Doing so will encourage you to really analyze everyone’s expectations. Search for your dream home from any device on our website. You can even compare walk scores, school ratings, and community demographics for different listings.
When you save a search on our site, any new homes matching your wish list criteria will be delivered straight to your inbox the moment they go up for sale.
