STEP 1/4
Determine budget and save for a down payment
Before you even start looking at homes for sale, it's important to determine your needs and budget. Then start saving up for that down payment.
How much can I afford?
STEP 2/4
Get pre-approved
Apply for your mortgage with Guaranteed Rate. Know your buying power, monthly payment options, and show sellers that you’re serious with a pre-approval letter.

STEP 3/4
Connect with an agent, make an offer, and contract
Start house hunting! An agent knows your market and works with you to find your dream home on your budget. When you find your perfect home, present the seller a purchase contract with all the details.

STEP 4/4
Contingencies, appraisal, underwriting, close, move
Once an offer’s accepted, the home needs to be appraised. Next, underwriters check over the financials before clearing you to close. Then it’s time to sign and move in.

Determine your goals
Refinancing can lower your monthly payment, help pay your mortgage off faster or let you consolidate debt with a cash-out refi.
Should I refinance now?
STEP 2/4
Run the numbers
Refinancing has more variables than just a new interest rate. Run the numbers so you can know how your monthly payment and mortgage terms may change.

STEP 3/4
Lock your loan
Most homeowners refinance for a new, lower interest rate, but rates change daily. Apply to refinance as soon as you’re ready and lock your new mortgage rate.

STEP 4/4
Close on your refi
Closing on a refinance should feel familiar. You’ll have an appraisal, go through underwriting and then close the mortgage. But this time you’ve already moved in.
