Pre-Qualification VS. Pre-Approval

 

 Most real estate buyers have heard that they need to pre-qualify or be pre-approved for a mortgage if they're looking to buy a property. These are two key steps in the mortgage application process. Some people use the terms interchangeably, but there are important differences that every homebuyer should understand. Pre-qualifying is just the first step. It gives you an idea of how large a loan you'll likely qualify for. Pre-approval is the second step, a conditional commitment to actually grant you the mortgage. Pre-qualified or be pre-approved for a mortgage if they're looking to buy a property. These are two key steps in the mortgage application process. Some people use the terms interchangeably, but there are important differences that every homebuyer should understand. Pre-qualifying is just the first step. It gives you an idea of how large a loan you'll likely qualify for. Pre-approval is the second step, a conditional commitment to actually grant you the mortgage. 

 

Pre-Qualified

Getting pre-qualified involves supplying a bank or lender with their overall financial picture, including debt, income, and assets. The lender reviews everything and gives an estimate of how much the borrower can expect to receive. Pre-qualification can be done over the phone or online, and there's usually no cost involved.

Pre-qualification is quick, usually taking just one to three days to get a pre-qualification letter. Keep in mind that loan pre-qualification does not include an analysis of credits reports or an in-depth look at the borrower's ability to purchase a home.


 

Pre-Approved

Getting pre-approved is the next step, and it's much more involved. The borrower must complete an official mortgage application to get pre-approved, as well as supply the lender with all the necessary documentation to perform an extensive credit and financial background check. The lender will then offer pre-approval up to a specified amount.

Going through the pre-approval process also offers a better idea of the interest rate to be charged. Some lenders allow borrowers to lock in an interest rate or charge an application fee for pre-approval, which can amount to several hundred dollars.

Lenders will provide a conditional commitment in writing for an exact loan amount, allowing borrowers to look for homes at or below that price level. This puts borrowers at an advantage when dealing with a seller because they're one step closer to getting an actual mortgage.

FAQ

Please reach us at ligiaroberts@ppbyligia.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

When determining how much home you can afford and whether you are eligible for a home loan, a lender will look at your credit score. Typically, you need a score of 580 or higher to qualify, but it is recommended to have a 620 or higher. The higher your credit score, the better lending terms you may be eligible for. n answer to this item.


 No one wants to live in a dangerous city, but your real estate agent can’t help you with this question. Due to the Fair Housing Act, a real estate agent cannot answer questions regarding crime statistics. Before starting your house hunt, research crime data for the cities and neighborhoods you are considering. 


 Typically, you aren’t paying a real estate agent to help you find your dream home. A home seller pays their real estate agent a percentage of the home sale price, and that agent pays the buyer’s real estate agent for bringing in the buyer. A standard commission is 6 percent per Residential listing and between 8 and 10% per commercial listing and land of the transaction, which is split between the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent. 


 Early spring and summer, especially June, is a great time to sell a home.

Research shows that home sales in May, June, July, and August account for 40% of total annual sales volume.

Overall, home sales are still pretty good through early fall, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to sell a home during this period, either.


 It’s the buyer’s responsibility to get a home inspection, so as the seller, you don’t need to get one. An inspection usually ranges from $400–600, so that’s money you can keep in your pocket.

That said, a pre-listing inspection does have some benefits:

  • You’ll have the chance to discover and take care of major problems before listing, which could increase the value of your home.


 Yes, but you may lose earnest money (basically, a security deposit given to the seller upon signing a contract).

You can also face legal consequences if you back out of the agreement for a reason not outlined in the purchase agreement. This document outlines important details, such as repairs the seller is responsible for and contingencies of the real estate deal.

However, there are certain scenarios where breaking a purchase agreement is understandable. If you lose your job, can’t sell your current home, or can’t get approved for a mortgage, it’s best to wait until you reach financial stability before buying.

Other issues with the home, such as a failed home inspection, unrepaired problems, or difficulty with transferring the title, are also acceptable reasons to back out of an agreement.


When you find the perfect house and you can afford it.


 Earnest money is often described as a “good-faith deposit” from an interested buyer. The amount is negotiable, and it shows the seller that the buyer is serious about closing the deal.

As the sale is pending, the earnest money is placed in escrow (an account held by a third party until the sale is finalized). At closing, the funds can go towards closing costs or a down payment on the home.

If the buyer has to back out of purchasing the home due to a contingency in the escrow agreement, they will get their earnest money back. However, if the buyer chooses to back out of the deal for any other reason, the money will go to the seller instead.


 A 60-hour salesperson prelicense course must be completed through a licensed school before a salesperson applicant can schedule the licensing examination. If you currently hold a real estate license in another state, you may qualify to take the six-hour reciprocal prelicense course.
