Loan Officer Training - 10/23/2024 -Discovering the Difference: Mortgage Pre-Approval Vs Mortgage Pre-Qualification

Loan Officer Training with The Mortgage Calculator

In this episode of Loan Officer Training, we tackle one of the most common questions clients ask: What’s the difference between mortgage pre-approval and pre-qualification? While the terms are often used interchangeably, they serve distinct purposes—and as a loan officer, knowing how to explain these differences can make or break your client’s mortgage journey.
We’ll dive into the key distinctions between pre-approval and pre-qualification, including the varying levels of commitment from lenders, the documentation required for each, and how they affect a borrower’s credibility in the competitive housing market. You’ll learn why a pre-approval letter might carry more weight with sellers and how a pre-qualification can serve as an early stepping stone in the mortgage process.
Join us as we break down the pre-approval vs. pre-qualification debate and give you the knowledge you need to guide your clients to success in their homebuying journey!
