Know What You Can Afford Before You Start House Hunting

One of the smartest first steps you can take on your homeownership journey is getting pre-approved for a mortgage. At HelpingKey Mortgages, we offer fast, reliable, and personalized pre-approval services that give you a clear understanding of your buying power and set you up for success in a competitive real estate market.

A mortgage pre-approval is more than just a number—it’s a strategic advantage. It gives you the confidence to shop for a home within your budget, shows sellers that you’re a serious buyer, and helps you avoid last-minute surprises. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or upgrading to your dream home, we make the pre-approval process smooth, stress-free, and fully customized to your goals.

Why Get Pre-Approved?

Pre-approval helps answer one of the biggest questions homebuyers face: “How much can I afford?” Based on your income, debts, credit score, and other financial information, we help determine the maximum mortgage amount you qualify for. This allows you to shop smarter and avoid falling in love with a home outside your price range.

More importantly, sellers and real estate agents take pre-approved buyers more seriously. In a competitive market, having a pre-approval letter in hand can give you a major edge—and even help you close faster.

What’s Involved in a Pre-Approval?

At HelpingKey Mortgages, we make the process simple. We’ll collect basic financial documents such as:

• Proof of income (pay stubs, T4s, or notice of assessment)

• Credit report and score

• List of debts and liabilities

• Employment verification

• Estimated down payment

Once we review your information, we’ll match you with pre-approval options from top lenders, showing you potential rates, terms, and monthly payment ranges. This helps you plan your home search with confidence and clarity.

Personalized Advice—No Guesswork

Every borrower’s situation is different. That’s why we go beyond automated calculators or generic pre-approval letters. With a background in education and financial services, Dr. Kunal Raheja ensures you understand exactly what your pre-approval means and what the next steps are. Whether you’re self-employed, new to Canada, or have unique financial goals, we tailor our recommendations just for you.

Locked-In Rates and Peace of Mind

In most cases, a mortgage pre-approval also includes a rate hold—locking in today’s interest rate for 90 to 120 days. This means even if rates go up during your home search, you’ll be protected. And if rates drop? We’ll still get you the lower one. It’s a win-win.

Ready When You Are

Getting pre-approved is quick, commitment-free, and one of the most empowering things you can do before starting your home search. With HelpingKey Mortgages, you’ll have all the clarity you need to move forward with confidence—and we’ll be right there with you every step of the way.

Start strong. Stay informed. Buy with confidence.
