Episode Synopsis "04- Pre-qualified vs Pre-Approved. What are the Differences and Which One is Better?"

One of the first steps in your home search is to contact your lender to get pre-qualification or pre-approval for the amount of mortgage you are allowed to take out. Sellers only want to deal with serious buyers when they are trying to sell their homes. It is a significant risk to accept an offer and take your home off the market. There are many ways a deal can fall through, and one of them is that the buyer cannot afford the house. Therefore, a serious buyer has to be pre-qualified or pre-approved for the amount they are financing. What is the difference between a pre-qualified buyer and a pre-approved buyer? Do these terms mean the same thing, or is one better than the other in the eyes of the seller? Pre-Qualified vs. Pre-Approved - Realtor Perspective First of all, I will tell you my opinion on the difference as a Realtor®. Then, I will ask a lender for his perspective.
