What is Loan Pre-Approval and why do I Need One?

Getting a Pre-approval before you actually start searching for a New Home, can work towards serving a no. of purposes:

  • Facilitates Advanced Planning and Budgeting
  • Helps in Narrowing Down Your Search
  • You get prior knowledge of your monthly dues, the rate of interest on your loan, the costs required for closing, a possible estimation of your property taxes and hazard insurance dues etc.
  • Lends you a more powerful and better position in terms of negotiation
  • Higher possibility of getting the home you prefer at the price listed below
  • It is absolutely FREE! Get pre-approved now. (This one should be hyperlinked to Apply Now Form).

Pre- approval facilitates advanced planning and budgeting and it is done even before the property is located. Through this a potential buyer applies for financing for a stated loan amount (on a property yet to be located) with a lender of his choice. It then becomes the lender’s job to underwrite the application, which is based upon a no. of factors such as the credit profile/history, income, employment details and assets of the potential buyer. Once a property is determined,, this is subjected to a possible appraisal and other important steps related with the documentation process like the preliminary title report, a purchase contract etc.

Again, it is absolutely free (though some lenders might charge you for preparing your credit report).

A pre-approval is usually valid with a lender for about 2-3 months (for about 60-90 days).

Any potential buyer, or his/her representative or agent, can get a written notice of pre-approval from the lender. The offer of a potential buyer to purchase a property can then be presented to a potential seller along with this pre-approval notice.

Pre-approval is now seen as a serious consideration of a potential buyer's offer because there can be multiple offers on a single property in the current competitive real estate scenario and has therefore become mandatory for these purposes.

So, if buyers choose not to become pre -approved by a lender, it can act as a major drawback on their part , they actually require their lender to do so for them.
