Getting Pre-Approved is Fast and Easy!

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MORTGAGE PRE-QUALIFICATION AND A PRE-APPROVAL?

A pre-qualification letter states that you meet basic financial criteria, usually based on the borrowers word. A pre-approval statement from a lender indicates that the broker has evaluated your assets, debt, and credit history to determine whether you can qualify for the loan.

WHY IS A MORTGAGE PRE-APPROVAL IMPORTANT IN LOS ANGELES?

Los Angeles is a highly competitive real estate market. If your goal is to finance a home purchase, a mortgage pre-approval from a lender is vital, especially when your up against multiple buyers.


  • A lender pre-approval letter must be included in your offer to the seller.
  • A pre-approval looks better to a seller than a pre-qualification because it means the lender has done more due diligence to
    decide whether you are financially qualified for the loan.
