worcester county: What's the difference between Preapproval and Prequal? - 03/16/13 11:06 AM
If you're considering the purchase of a new home, you may be concerned with the issue of finance. Attaining the right mortgage is a key step in the home buying process, but it doesn't have to be a stress-inducing one. Most lenders offer prequalification, pre-approval or both to help you know where you stand. What is the DIFFERENCE?  Let me explain.
