Frequently Asked Questions
How is a pre-approval different from a pre-qualification?
How is a pre-approval different from a pre-qualification?
A pre-qualification is a rough estimate based on self-reported information. A pre-approval involves a
credit pull and document review, giving you a verified borrowing range that sellers and agents take
seriously. We issue pre-approvals, not just pre-qualifications.
Can I get pre-approved before I've found a property?
Yes — and we recommend it. Knowing your borrowing capacity before you shop lets you move quickly
when you find the right home, and it strengthens your offer.
What if I'm self-employed or have non-traditional income?
We have access to bank statement loans, 1099 loans, and other Non-QM programs designed specifically for borrowers who don't fit the conventional W-2 mold. Ask us about these options during
your consultation.
