Many buyers think pre-qualified and pre-approved mean the same thing, but they don't.
Pre-Qualified
โ A quick estimate based on the financial information you provide.
Pre-Approved
โ A lender has reviewed and verified your financial information, giving you a stronger understanding of your buying power.
While both are helpful, a pre-approval can give sellers greater confidence in your offer, especially in a competitive market.
Knowing where you stand before you start shopping can make the home-buying process smoother and help you move quickly when you find the right home.
Comment YES and we'll send you more information about the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval, and why getting pre-approved is an important first step.
