Must a Buyer be pre-approved for a mortgage before they can view homes for Sale? When I tell you they may not have to be "Pre-approved" but must be "Pre-qualified" many may scratch their heads asking what is the difference. Getting pre-qualified is a process usually done over the phone where the buyer tells the loan officer how much they make, what their expenses are and gives permission to pull their credit obtaining their credit score.
For most Sellers and listing agents being pre-qualified is an absolute must before a buyer can get into to see a home for sale.
The next step is for a buyer getting "Pre-approved". It is where the buyer submits their banks statements, check stubs and authorizes verification of employment, income and their credit.
