How HomeSearch by NuWay Works
Step 1: Show Me the Money!
Unless you’re paying cash (not that there’s anything wrong with that), the first and most important step in the purchase of your first or next home is to get pre-approved for a mortgage loan.
Using the convenience of a phone or online application and from the comfort of your home, we’ll connect you with a local lender to provide you with a FREE no obligation credit decision with a maximum suggested loan amount, before you even begin shopping for a home.
The loan amount fits your real-life budget. You don’t want too much month left over at the end of the money. Search only for and purchase a home that you can afford in this season of your life.
Mortgage Pre-Approval
The decision happens within days when you provide the information your lender needs in order to evaluate and process the loan.
- Make it a top priority.
- Time is of the essence.
- Need a lender? We’ve got some great ones to reach out to. Shop around for the best rates and deals.

Step 2: The Smarter Home Search

We’ll save the search and automatically alert you on your own personal portal with homes that match your search criteria.
Just specify exactly what you’re looking for and the most accurate and up-to-date information will be sent directly to you the moment it becomes available.
