A Soliloquy 🌹
What’s in a pre-approval?
A letter to prove this isn’t just a situationship with Zillow?
A soft flex for the seller?
A PDF so light as air,
Yet strong enough to make listing agents slide into your agent’s inbox?
Is it sexy? Debatable.
Is it necessary? Undeniably.
Because without it,
You’re just emotionally attached to a house
That does not know your name.
To me, a pre-approval is power.
Boundaries.
And the very first “I’m not here to play”
Of your home-buying era.
DM your lender.
Or better yet—
DM Mortgage Mami.
