Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Real Talk with Matt, we’re tackling one of the biggest traps first-time buyers fall into — getting pre-approved the wrong way.
Matt Socci, President of Anchor Home Loans, breaks down the difference between a real pre-approval and the quick “paper pre-approvals” that can blow up a deal at the last minute.
He shares real-life stories from buyers who lost homes because their lender didn’t verify income or assets — and what you can do to make sure you’re not one of them.
You’ll learn:
✅ The difference between a pre-qualification, pre-approval, and underwritten approval
✅ Why many first-time buyers get blindsided at closing
✅ How to set yourself up for success before you start shopping
This is the kind of insight that can save you thousands — and a whole lot of stress — on your path to homeownership.
