A mortgage pre-approval is a lender’s statement that they are tentatively willing to lend you a specific amount for a home loan, based on your financial information, and is a more thorough process than pre-qualification.

- What to do with it:
A pre-approval letter indicates a lender’s willingness to lend you a certain amount, but it’s not a guarantee of a loan until you find a home and complete the full application process.
You’ll provide financial documents (like pay stubs, bank statements, and tax returns) to the lender, who will then verify your income, assets, debts, and credit history.
A pre-approval letter typically outlines the maximum loan amount, estimated interest rate, and loan term.
It demonstrates to sellers that you’re a serious and credible buyer, increasing your chances of having your offer accepted in a competitive market.
While pre-qualification provides a general estimate of how much you might borrow, pre-approval is a more in-depth process involving a hard credit check and verification of your financial information.
A pre-approval letter is typically valid for a set period, often 90 days, after which you may need to reapply.
Once you find a home, you’ll use the pre-approval letter to make an offer, and the lender will then proceed with the full loan application process.
