When buying a home, it is very important to be Pre-Approved for your mortgage in advance. The reasons for this vary from calculating affordability to presenting a stronger contract. The issue is that the definition of this Pre-Approval varies depending on the context in which it is used. This guide should help you understand what Sellers are asking for when they advertised "Pre-Approved Buyers Only".
The phrase "Pre-Approved" brings up a question of semantics. The best way to further this discussion is to define the terms Pre-Qualification and Pre-Approval.
Pre-Qualification is a process whereby the buyer’s income, credit and assets are analyzed. It is essential that all of these factors are weighed to give you a legitimate chance of getting the loan approved. The findings in the Pre-Qualification will also help you and your Realtor decide the home prices to search in the MLS. This prevents falling in love with a house just to find up that is $50,000 out of your price range.
Pre-Approval is a step PAST what you see above. It is actually only available after your complete loan file is submitted to a lender. At this point the lender will underwrite the loan file and come back with a Conditional Approval – a.k.a. a Pre-Approval. This is only a Conditional Approval because there will be conditions that the lender places on the loan that must be met prior to closing. After these conditions are reviewed and signed off on by the Underwriter, the loan should have Final Approval or Commitment and be Cleared to Close.
A Pre-Qualification is very important. It is not a guarantee, though! .
When trying to satisfy this Seller requirement, a buyer should realize that the difference in a Letter of Pre-Qualification and a Letter of Pre-Approval is much more than just semantics. It can take between a few days and a couple of weeks to get a pre-approval. It all depends on the particulars of the loan file and the lender itself. This is why it is important to get started on the loan application before shopping for the property
A Letter of Pre-Qualification should only detail that a buyer appears able to purchase a home at a particular price point based on the information they provided.
A Letter of Pre-Approval is the document that is proof that the lender has already approved the buyer for a loan and is just waiting on a property to put with the loan. This is the "Golden Ticket" that you will need to have in hand to successfully move along the path to home ownership.

Showing Your Orlando Florida Home ~ Something to think about.
Showing Your Orlando Florida Home ~ Something to think about.
There are a few things you don’t want potential
Orlando Florida buyers to see in your home on a showing.
Why you ask?
Well each one creates a strong reaction — positive and negative. Can you really afford to lose the perfect buyer for your Orlando Florida home because someone saw something that they reacted negatively to?
Here are a few things to remove from your Orlando Florida home before you start showing:
Religion. This is one of the toughest ones to deal with. Individuals who have a strong conviction in their faith and practice it regularly tend to display that within their homes. Potential Orlando Florida buyers might become uncomfortable so it is best to remove religious items.
Politics. This really goes hand in hand with religion. Need we say anymore?
Sex – magazines, suggestive photos, toys, stripper poles, lingerie, etc. Very few people can get past the mental picture.
Rock ‘n Roll. Any evidence of the party lifestyle…
Drugs. Both legal and illegal. The illegal — well that is obvious… But do you really want potential buyers knowing your business and use it as leverage in the negotiation process?
While we have your attention, do make sure that your beds are made, floors clean, toilet seat lids down, and no clutter anywhere are also very important to help your Orlando Florida home show well! Call the Orlando Avenue Top Team today for assistance in buying or selling your Orlando Florida home at (407) 467-5155!
