Real Estate Agents: Not All Preapproval Letters Are Created Equal
You've seen it happen — your buyer writes a strong offer, gets it accepted, and then... the financing falls apart at the 11th hour.
The culprit? A weak preapproval that was really just a prequalification in disguise.
Here's what separates a real preapproval from a paper one:
✅ Full credit pull — not just a soft check
✅ Income & assets verified — pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns, and bank statements reviewed
✅ Underwriter eyes on the file — not just an LO's gut check
✅ DTI calculated against actual program guidelines — not a back-of-the-napkin estimate
At Summit Funding Advisors, every preapproval letter we issue is backed by a fully reviewed file. When your buyer hands a seller our letter, you can write that offer with confidence — because we already did the work.
Want preapprovals that actually hold up when it matters? Let's talk. Your next deal deserves a lender who has your back.
