Are you getting ready to house hunt this weekend? Make sure you know the difference between a pre-qualification and a pre-approval before making an offer.
A pre-qualification is only an initial estimate based on unverified numbers. A verified pre-approval means your documents and credit have been thoroughly reviewed.
Sellers and listing agents can tell the difference right away. Having a true pre-approval in hand gives your offer real strength when it matters most.
