Elisha says the best foundation for your home search is having a great mortgage broker who can tell you what you qualify for. This rings true for two big reasons: (1) your time is valuable and you want to be sure you’re looking at homes that truly fit your budget, and (2) you want to be able to put an offer in the minute you find your home – and a pre-approval letter is essential for every offer.

There are many mortgage brokers to choose from, but here are two that Elisha’s clients have exceptional things to say about:
