Why It Matters
Why Get Pre-Approved First?
Pre-approval is not just paperwork — it is your biggest competitive advantage in a fast-moving market.
Competitive Offers
Sellers take pre-approved buyers seriously. A pre-approval letter signals you are financially verified and ready to close — not just browsing.
Know Your Real Budget
Pre-approval gives you the exact purchase price, monthly payment, and cash-to-close you qualify for — based on your actual credit, income, and debts.
Speed Up Closing
Financing already underway moves faster. Pre-approved buyers routinely close 7–10 days faster than buyers who start the loan process after going under contract.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does mortgage pre-approval take?
My Mortgage Company can issue a pre-approval letter in as little as one business day once we have received your documents. You will need recent pay stubs, two months of bank statements, W-2s (or 12–24 months of bank statements if self-employed), and a soft credit pull authorization.
Does getting pre-approved hurt my credit score?
The initial pre-approval starts with a soft credit pull, which has no impact on your credit score. A hard inquiry only happens when you formally apply for a loan — typically after you are under contract on a home. Under FICO scoring rules, multiple mortgage inquiries within a 45-day window count as a single inquiry.
How long is a pre-approval letter valid?
Most pre-approval letters are valid for 60–90 days. If your letter expires before you find a home, we can typically reissue it quickly with updated documentation. Your financial situation must remain materially unchanged — no new debt, no employment changes.
What documents do I need for pre-approval?
For W-2 employees: two most recent pay stubs, two most recent W-2s, two months of bank statements, and a government-issued ID. For self-employed borrowers: 12 or 24 months of bank statements (no tax returns required for our Bank Statement program). VA borrowers also need a Certificate of Eligibility.
