Preapproval

Preapproval vs prequalification — words matter to sellers

Prequal is often a soft conversation. Preapproval usually means a lender reviewed documents. Sellers care which one you have.

Ask your lender exactly what they mean. Get a letter that matches your offer price band. Do not invent strength you do not have.

MoJo can advise how listing agents in the Northland read letters. We do not issue preapprovals.
