A lot of first home buyers assume that getting pre-approval won’t be a problem - until it is.

In this episode, we’re joined by Stuart Weymss, founder and director of ProSolution. We talk about the mortgage pre-approval process, why it’s important for first home buyers to understand and we share tips on how to get started to make sure you’re doing it right.

You don’t want to find out that the bank won’t actually give you as much money as you expected after you’ve already signed your life away for a property!
