pre-qualified vs pre-approved letter -which is best?
Sometimes called pre-qualified vs pre-approved letter
"The sellers say that they want a prequalification letter before they'll take their
home off the market", "My Realtor is asking for and says I need a pre-qualified letter before I make an
offer", "I'm a new first time buyer and I don't really know what I qualify for" “ I know I want to buy a
home, but what can I really afford?” These are some of the different types of calls mortgage lenders receive
daily, and the reason for the growing popularity of the "pre qualified" and/or "pre
approved".
This seems to be becoming more of a standard request from sellers and their listing
agents.
Due to market demand, along comes the "Pre-approval Letter". In this process, the
potential borrower goes through the entire process of verifying income, assets, and debts. A credit report is
obtained and a complete application is filled out. This is a quasi commitment that is an approval usually
subject to an appraisal, and any other underwriting conditions.. The "Prequalification" states clearly it is
not a commitment and is based solely on information provided by the applicant. In most cases, the
"Pre-qualification" is usually free and can be faxed within an hour or two to prospective buyers, the
"Pre-approval" usually carries a fee of $250 to $350 and can take several days to actually
generate.
Based on the above outline, what is the answer? My recommendation is to use a mortgage lender NOT a broker, that
you can reach easily and who is willing and able to issue a "Preapproval Letter". Why? There is more cloute with a
Preapproval letter, and if issues are raised up front, it could save you many hours of wasted time and energy, as
well as less embarressement if the deal fails for something that could have been corrected up front. The little
expense involved for the buyer, could save you thousands in the long run with the "Preapproval Letter". My
experience has been that there have been any more incidents of a "pre qualified" buyer having something crop up
sooner than later that "unqualifies" them, so become the "pre approved" buyer. So, contact a direct lender mortgage
company before going on the home search, and request a "Prequalification Letter". For more information, call

you get a pre-qualified letter or pre-qual, that does not mean the homebuyer can get a loan. So some things
to consider when you view things as asking pre qualied vs pre approved letter, which sometimes this was that
the homebuyer was not a real qualified one. An important point is a pre-approved letter from a lender does.
There are different types of cases, which most of the time, home sellers accepted offers without asking the
question if the homebuyer is qualified or not. Later on, it is descovered the home seller only found out
several weeks later that the homebuyer couldn’t get the mortgage loan. When looking at this case, a pre qual
would have helped, but a pre approval not only have to let the buyer back off, but also have to refund the
earnest money to the homebuyer. As a direct lender, our
