Why Edmonton buyers need a pre-approval
Edmonton's real estate market moves quickly. Without a pre-approval, you risk losing out on properties to buyers who already have their financing confirmed.
A pre-approval does more than tell you your budget — it locks in a rate (typically for 90–120 days), gives you negotiating power, and ensures there are no surprises when you find the right home.

Pre-approval questions — Edmonton
How long does a mortgage pre-approval take in Edmonton?
Most pre-approvals can be completed within 1–2 business days. Once I have your information, I'll review your situation and provide a clear answer on your buying power.
Does a pre-approval guarantee I'll get a mortgage?
A pre-approval is a strong indication of what you can borrow, but it's conditional on the property meeting lender requirements and your financial situation remaining stable until closing.
How long is a pre-approval valid?
Most pre-approvals are valid for 90–120 days, depending on the lender. This also locks in your rate during that period, protecting you from rate increases.
Will a pre-approval affect my credit score?
A mortgage pre-approval involves a credit check, which may cause a minor, temporary dip in your score. However, multiple mortgage inquiries within a short period are typically treated as a single inquiry.
What documents do I need for a pre-approval?
Typically you'll need recent pay stubs, T4s or Notice of Assessment, bank statements showing your down payment, government ID, and details of any existing debts. Don't worry about having everything ready — I'll walk you through it.
