Many homeowners think the first step to home ownership is to begin researching the market, but even before you begin your search, it&#8217;s a great advantage to pursue pre-qualification for a mortgage from RBC. <\/p><p>\u201cPre-qualified&#8221; simply means that you&#8217;ve reviewed your financial situation with an RBC Mortgage Specialist and you know exactly what you can afford to spend on a home (including purchase price, down payment, legal fees and other closing expenses). It also means you know how much you can borrow based on your current financial situation. <\/p><p>Pre-qualification carries no cost or obligation to purchase; it simply acts as an indicator that can help you focus on homes within your price range since you&#8217;ll know in advance what your mortgage payments may be. With your pre-qualification, you can shop and negotiate with confidence and avoid the disappointment of finding the perfect home only to learn that you don&#8217;t qualify for the mortgage.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"callout-quote rds-inverse\"><div class=\"quote-content\"><p>If you're buying your first home, constructing a new property or undertaking renovations, count on an RBC Mortgage Specialist for all the advice you need.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-tk-spacer id-abab2af9-242d-495b-8bd3-1c24451cc115\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\t\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
