Pre-Approval Letter

During: Buying Process Overview: Pre-Showings: Pre-Approval Letter

Pre-Approval Letter is all about getting a pre-approval letter from your lender before we start looking at homes. You can skip this step if you’re paying cash for your property, but you’ll want to be prepared with proof of funds instead. It is the second step in the Pre-Showings process.

The Pre-Approval Letter process is shown below.

Get max "Lender Letter"

Get Pre-Approval letter from Lender for the max you can afford. We will only use this if you're unable to reach your Lender and you want to submit an offer right away. Otherwise, we will ask your Lender for an updated "Lender Letter" for the exact Purchase Price.

Having a "Lender Letter" helps you get your offer accepted.
