The largest purchase that almost everyone ever makes is the purchase of a home. Almost all home purchases must be financed through a financial institution due to the size of the purchase. The loan on your home is called a mortgage. Before you find the home of your dreams, you should consider getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan. There are a number of ways to do this.

1. The local bank. The most common way to get a home mortgage is to contact your local bank. Almost all banks, whether national like Bank of America, or local, will offer home mortgage loans. Call your local branch or go in and ask to speak with a mortgage specialist who will walk you through the steps to get pre-approved.
   
   
2. The Internet. Most national banks and financial institutions offer the ability to get pre-approved over the Internet. Point your browser to the website of a major bank and click on the link to "Get a Mortgage Quote" and fill out the requested information. There are also a number of sites that will write your loan. These can be found by an Internet search for "mortgage loan" through a search engine.
   
   
3. Through the builder. If you are looking at buying a new home, the home builder may have a deal set with a local loan company. Talk to the builder and they will point you in the direction of who you need to talk to for your quote.

You can better prepare yourself for a good interest rate by taking some simple steps, prior to locking your rate. These can include:

1. Running a credit check. This can be done through the Internet. Simply search for "Free Credit Check" to find a good site. A higher credit rating can make significant difference in whether you are approved and, if you are approved, your interest rate.
