Don’t mistake a Mortgage Pre-Qualification for a Mortgage Pre-Approval*
West Palm Beach, FL – There’s a big difference between being Pre-Approved for a home mortgage and Pre-Qualified. Homebuyers who get pre-approved have submitted documentation and their application has been put through a rigorous process. Pre-qualification is only a preliminary assessment of a borrower’s ability to qualify and requires more time, documentation, and examination to confirm eligibility.
Home buyers who choose pre-approval and pre-qualification will have different experiences with the home buying experience.
Pre-Qualification
- Snapshot or quick review of your income and assets
- Provides an estimate of how much house you might afford
- Doesn’t guarantee you have a loan or even settled on a lender
Pre-Approval
- Detailed view of your creditworthiness verified by a full review of your income and assets
- Performed by an Ideal Lending Mortgage Underwriter
- All that’s left for final approval is an appraisal, title search, and no change in your financial condition prior to closing
With a pre-approval letter from Ideal Lending in hand, you have the confidence you need to make an offer!
- Know what you can really afford
- Negotiate better
- Show the seller you’re serious

*A pre-approval does not constitute a loan commitment or guarantee of a loan. Pre-approval is subject to a satisfactory appraisal, satisfactory title search, and no meaningful change to borrower’s financial condition.
