When moving 500 kms from your current employer, "I'm going to get a job there" is not a standard or acceptable verification of employment proof, if asking for a mortgage. Just an FYI in case anyone is wondering. #mortgagelife
Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is something every potential home buyer should do before looking for a home. This will give you the confidence of knowing that financing is available, and it can put you in a positive negotiation position against other potential home buyers.
