Pre-Approval vs. Pre-Qualification: What's the Difference?

?

Pre-Qualification

A quick, informal estimate based on self-reported information. No credit check, no document verification.

  • Based on unverified information
  • No hard credit inquiry
  • Takes 5-10 minutes
  • Not accepted by most sellers
  • Gives a rough estimate only

Less valuable in a competitive market

!

Pre-Approval RECOMMENDED

A thorough review of your credit, income, and assets. Craig issues a formal letter confirming your approved loan amount.

  • Verified income, assets, and credit
  • Hard credit inquiry (minimal impact)
  • Same-day preapproval may be available following review of required documentation
  • Accepted and respected by sellers
  • Specific loan amount and terms
