SureStart®
Pre-Approval
Getting pre-approved before speaking to a real estate agent can save you time, money and frustration. Start your SureStart® Pre-Approval.
What are the benefits?
Unlike many pre-approvals, a Citi SureStart® Pre-Approval comes with a firm commitment to lend.

Save time
Know your price range before you start looking, so you can zero in on your dream home faster.

Have more financial control
A SureStart® Pre-Approval gives you the confidence you need in knowing what you can afford.

Have more buying leverage
Your purchase offer is backed by a SureStart® commitment, giving you an edge over other buyers without a firm pre-approval commitment.
Title
Watch why a pre-approval is better than pre-qualification
