Arnaud: Hi and welcome to House it Going? I’m Arnaud Soly, and this is Marie-Ève, advisor at Desjardins.
Marie-Eve Dorion: Hi, Arnaud.
Arnaud: So, Marie-Ève, House it Going in the real estate game?
Marie-Ève: House about we stop saying “house it going?”
[Marie-Ève looks at the camera.]
Arnaud: Pfff!
Marie-Ève: Last time, we talked about getting a mortgage, but even before that, it can be a good idea to get preapproved.
Arnaud: Preapproved for…?
Marie-Ève: Preapproved for your mortgage.
Arnaud: So, I can more-gauge what I can afford?

Marie-Ève: Ideally, you would look for a house that’s below the maximum you can borrow.
[Arnaud nods.]
Marie-Ève:: And real estate brokers and sellers like to hear that you’ve been preapproved because it shows that you’re serious.

[Cut to Arnaud sitting at the table with the yellow house. He’s playing Desjardins’s musical motif on a recorder with his nose.]
