Mortgage Pre-Approval

Plain-English definition with Kansas context. Written for homebuyers, not mortgage bankers.

What is mortgage pre-approval?

A mortgage pre-approval is a documented review of your credit, income, and assets that results in a formal letter stating the loan amount you qualify for. A pre-approval is stronger than a pre-qualification, which is typically based on stated information without verification.

More detail

Kansas listing agents expect a pre-approval letter before scheduling showings on competitive properties. Pre-qualifications are usually discounted.
