The pre-approval is more than just a step in encouraging an agent to begin showing you home. It is the part of the process where you as the buyer should obtain the necessary information which will allow you to make an educated decision on how to best finance your home. Considerations such as required down payment amount, monthly payment, mortgage insurance, property tax and the types of financing available should be reviewed. An experienced local lender that specializes in purchase transactions will be a great resource to assist with this stage in the process.While speed is desirable at this point, a thorough review by your loan originator will set the stage for a smooth and predictable approval process once you have successfully negotiated the purchase of your home. Be prepared to provide full income and asset documentation to your loan originator.

You can - but let me caution you. A pre-approval is only as good as the Loan Officer providing it and the information they have to work with. With the current lending guidelines, it is important to have an interactive conversation with an experienced lender who can ask all the right questions to ensure you are truly Pre-Approved. More important however: When your offer is being reviewed by the seller, a Pre-Approval from a LOCAL lender carries more weight typically. Talk to your Realtor and see what they suggest - they are the real expert. Also, remember, you are making one of the biggest purchases of your life, do you want to do that on-line or have access to talk to and expert that helps people buy houses every single day. Good Luck.

Yes you can, but a realtor will usually require a Pre-Qual Letter signed by a Loan Officer.
