How do I get my mortgage done before I start looking?

Bidding on a home for sale with financial security

The housing market is more competitive than ever. After all, how do you beat the move-throughs and competition as a starter? Being creative is key in that. And we can help. With our mortgage certificate, you increase your chances of getting that first home. Offer with 100% certainty by completing your mortgage in advance.

From uncertainty to certainty

Making an offer without a financing condition is increasingly common. But certainly not without risk. Can't get the financing? Then you have to pay 10% of the purchase price. A serious chunk of money.

Would you like to bid as a starter without this risk? Then our mortgage certificate is your safety net to beat the competition. Good to know: this certificate is part of our purchase assistance.

Why the starter certificate is for you

I had an excellent experience with Sake!

From our first meeting to receiving the house keys, the entire process took less than a month - an incredibly quick and smooth process. Sake was friendly, helpful and professional throughout the process, making me feel supported every step of the way.

I especially appreciated his approach, giving me the freedom to view the house at my own pace and on my own schedule. That made the process comfortable and stress-free. When I was ready, he took over the negotiations and closing seamlessly, making a fair deal. His expertise and efficiency made all the difference.

Thank you, Sake, for your excellent service! Highly recommended.

Thanks to Sake's quick turnaround, we were able to buy the house of our dreams after only the second offer. As starters, there were many things we knew little about, but Sake took the time to take us fully through the process. That gave us a familiar and reassuring feeling. Thank you Sake!

Frequently asked questions about our starter mortgage certificate

Questions, doubts, vague real estate jargon: when you're about to buy a house, there's quite a lot on your mind. In addition to personal advice at every step of the process, we answer all your pressing (as well as less pressing) questions.

Why is such a mortgage certificate worthwhile?

A big well-known bank is already taking a look at your finances before you go on the market. As soon as we find your dream home, they immediately give the green light. So the stress of getting your mortgage done disappears like snow in the sun.

How do I get a mortgage certificate?

You do this by creating a free search profile with us and then scheduling a phone interview with us. In that meeting we will discover together whether the certificate suits your needs and situation.

Are you at financial risk if you bid with a mortgage certificate?

Normally you pay a penalty of 10% of the purchase price if for some reason you can't get your mortgage done. With the mortgage certificate, this is not the case. Your mortgage is pre-approved. All that's left is an accepted offer.

When is the mortgage certificate something for me?

If you want to be one step ahead of the competition when making an offer, this mortgage certificate is really for you. No more worrying about mortgage stress. With certainty, you can make an offer without the reservation of financing. This significantly increases your chances of success.

How many times may I bid with your mortgage certificate?

Unlimited!

How long is the mortgage certificate valid?

Our certificate is valid for a maximum of 6 months.

What if something changes in my financial situation?

Of course, your financial situation could change. Should that be the case, schedule a new meeting with Nobel Mortgages to find out what this means for the mortgage certificate. This is applicable, for example, if you get a salary increase, because that means more borrowing capacity. We can then increase the amount of the mortgage certificate as well.
