Online Mortgage Pre-approvals

A mortgage pre-approval is a great first step in your homebuying journey. By being pre-approved, you can confidently begin your house search.

By applying for a mortgage pre-approval* at Synergy, our goal is to provide you with a TRUE approval – this is so much more than a mortgage pre-qualification.

What makes this even more convenient? We’ll be in touch with you quickly and no later than the next business day.

*Good to know:  If you are pre-approved with Synergy, it means that we have stated that you qualify for a mortgage loan based on the information you have provided and subject to certain conditions. Your mortgage pre-approval will specify a term, interest rate and principal amount. This is a helpful step, as it can give you a clearer picture of how much you may be able to afford.


How it works:

Start your online application now and receive your pre-approval amount along with a 120-day guaranteed interest rate.

If you are moving your mortgage to Synergy, make sure to ask about our Mortgage Cashback program.

If you have more questions, our mortgage specialists will be happy to assist you.



Let's get started:

We have a couple of options for you.
