For a surgeon, that would be make incision, perform operation, then sterilize.

For a pilot, that would be throttle engines, depart, then get cleared for takeoff

For a real estate client, that would be look at houses, make offer, then qualify for financing.
Prescott Real Estate Steps
Let’s first acknowledge the first two examples could be life or death situations.  However, in the real estate business, it makes as little sense to shop without qualifying for financing.  Lenders are more strict then ever, with some brokers reporting less than half of all loan based transactions being completed to closing.

Often, folks will visit town with the understanding that they are “just looking”, which is fine, and I am always happy to show people around the first time out from out of town without intent to buy.  However, here is what happens all the time:  a perfect housing opportunity will present itself, and it is difficult to execute without financing, especially on the weekends.

Do yourself a favor, and contact one of our local lender stars before shopping or visiting.  With a loan  pre-qualification in hand, you can be ready to write a contract if you choose.  Please contact Realty 2000 for a tour appointment.  Prescott AZ area is a wonderful place to live and work.  Looking forward to your visit.
