Application Checklist For Pre Approval

A pre-qualification provides an estimate of your borrowing power based upon summary information you provided on your household income and assets. The downside is it requires a more detailed satisfactory review of property, financial documents and program requirements to issue final approval, which means you're shopping without a "True" loan in hand.

This can be a very devastating experience should you find that dream home that you simply can't qualify for

A pre-approval provides proof to real estate agents and sellers that you're approved for a specific loan amount by an underwriter.

Typically, the approval is based on a verification of your income, credit and assets (in some cases, verification may not even be necessary dependent upon you loan program). The beauty of a pre-approval is 70% of the loan process is completed at the time of issue, so while you are awaiting the approval, you can be gathering a better idea of the options you'd like to have in your new home.

Typically, by the time you have decided on the qualities of the home you'd like to buy, you'll have your pre-approval in hand and will find yourself much better prepared. This makes for a much more relaxed, and much more enjoyable home buying experience.

At Twin Palms Realty Inc , we believe buying your home should be a pleasure, not a chore.

What our pre-approval process typically leaves is; a satisfactory appraisal, any outstanding underwriting conditions, title review and no change in financial condition for final approval and closing. The best part is, it's a not cost option to you. To have a loan representative from our Lending Partner contact you, just complete our short application.
