A mortgage pre-approval is a document from a lender conditionally offering you a mortgage and containing its terms, such as the loan amount, monthly payments and interest rate. This is a lender’s promise that unless your financial situation changes by the time of purchase, you’ll be approved under the outlined terms.

​

With your mortgage pre-approval:

​

• You'll have an  exact knowledge of your budget and how much home you can afford
   

• You'll earn credibility with sellers because you can document your buying power
