Why this matters
Three things a real pre-approval gives you.
A real pre-approval is more than a number. It is the file your lender, your agent, and the seller all read from. Get this right and the rest of the process gets calm.
01 · Power
Know your buying power
A real number based on income, debt, and credit, not a rough guess from a calculator.
02 · Leverage
Stronger offers, faster closings
Sellers take prepped buyers seriously. Underwriting moves faster when the file is clean.
03 · Clarity
Clarity, not stress
You see the monthly payment, taxes, insurance, and PMI before you fall for a house.
The process · 5 steps
