The first step in the home buying process is to get pre-qualified for a mortgage. We have partnered with a great local mortgage company to start the process with an online application. By getting pre-qualified, you and the builder will know how much home you are able to purchase. The pre-qualification letter should also have New Austin Homes listed as your Real Estate Broker/Agent. This letter will help ensure you receive up to 1.5% cash back on your new home purchase. Once you are pre-qualified, you are welcome to get your final mortgage from any mortgage company you choose.
