What's the difference between
Pre-Qualifying and Pre-Approval?

A pre-qualification is normally issued by a loan officer, who, after interviewing you via phone or quick review of an online application, determines the dollar value of a loan you might be approved for. However, loan officers do not make the final approval, so a pre-qualification is not a commitment to lend. After the loan officer determines that you pre-qualify, they will issue you a pre-qualification letter. Several years ago, a pre-qualification letter was all you needed to provide along with a purchase offer. However, things are so much more competitive these days and a simple pre-qual letter falls a bit short, so I strongly encourage you to take it a step further and get a pre-approval instead.

Pre-approval is a step above pre-qualification. Pre-approval involves verifying your credit, down payment, bank statements, employment history, etc. Your loan application is submitted to an underwriter and a decision is made regarding your loan application. If your loan is pre-approved, you are then issued a pre-approval letter (aka Lender Letter). Getting a loan pre-approved puts you in a much stronger position to submit an offer because the listing agent and seller can take comfort in knowing you are a solid buyer with the ability to close quickly once your offer is accepted.

How Can I get "Pre-Qualified" or "Pre-Approved" for a Home Loan?
Getting pre-approved for a home loan is an essential part of the home buying process. It helps prevent you from looking at and falling in love with properties that you simply can't afford. In a very competitive market like ours where properties go under contract in a matter of days, you risk not being able to write an offer on a property because no listing agent or seller will take you seriously. Don't get left out...simply reach out to either one of my exceptional local mortgage lenders to start the process today!

What's the difference between pre-qualifying and pre-approval?
Pre-qualification means that the mortgage lender has reviewed the financial information you have provided and believes you will qualify for a loan. Pre-approval is the second step in the loan process, which is a conditional commitment to loan you the money for a mortgage.

Why is a pre-approval letter better than a pre-qualification letter?
As stated above, a pre-qualification letter means that the mortgage lender believes you will qualify for a loan based on the preliminary information you have provided them on the application whereas a pre-approval is a conditional commitment to loan you the money for a mortgage. Therefore, if you want to be taken seriously as a buyer, the pre-approval will carry the most weight.
