Step 2: Getting Pre-Approved

One of the first steps in buying your home is obtaining a pre-approved mortgage. With a pre-approved mortgage you will:

  • Know how much you can afford and what your payments will be
  • Lock in your interest rate at today's rate (or lower if rates drop), guaranteed for 90 days1
  • Demonstrate that you are a serious buyer, which can help in your negotiations with sellers and their agents

To begin your pre-approval, click on the link below and complete this short form. A mortgage specialist will be in touch with you within 24 hrs to complete an application for a RBC mortgage pre-approval.
