Pre-Approval and Pre-Qualification on a South Bay Loan Is pre-approval a general endorsement by a bank? No, when you are pre-approved, it is for a specific loan program from a specific lender. Not all lenders offer all loan programs. You may need to get approved with a different lender or for a different loan program with the same lender, depending on your financing options at the time you buy a house. Check with the agent or broker who helped you gain loan pre-approval before you write an offer. If you think you will need to get re-approved for a loan, make sure to allow enough time for this in the purchase contract. Is the pre-qualification a guarantee that I will get the loan? No. The lender or mortgage broker is under no obligation to grant you a loan. Most pre-qualification letters state that a buyer appears to be qualified for a certain loan amount. There is usually a disclaimer to protect the lender or broker in case you fail to qualify. Before a lender will actually loan money, you must complete a loan application. Is there anything official about a pre-qualification? No, loan pre-qualification
is an informal process. After a review of your financial status,
a loan agent or broker will issue a letter stating that if the information
provided is accurate you should be able to qualify for a loan of
a certain amount. Often, these letters are form letters. Even if
a pre-qualification letter is personalized, it usually contains
disclaimers to protect the loan agent. Consequently, some real estate
agents feel that pre-qualification letters are worth little more
than the paper they're written on.
