Prequalification versus Preapproval at American Federal
A prequalification tells you roughly how much you can borrow based on basic financial data you provide. At American Federal Bank, a credit check in involved and there is no upfront fee or obligation.
A preapproval is a more detailed look at your data and is based on a preliminary review of your credit information. It tells a seller or real estate agent you have been preapproved for a specific loan amount, usually for a particular time period and subject to specific conditions (for example, an appraisal). At American Federal, there is no upfront fee or obligation.
Because a preapproval is based on verification of your documentation and an actual credit check, a preapproval can have a greater benefit. You can shop confidentially because you have an estimate of how much you can borrow and your real estate agent knows an approximate price range to search. Sellers know you will be approved for a mortgage and the home sale will close.
It is important to know, however, that neither is a commitment to lend.
