Why You Should Get Pre-Approved For A Home LoanBy getting preapproved for a loan, the lender will give you an estimate of how much you can borrow and what interest rate you might qualify for. The process also gives buyers more leverage with sellers who are likely to prefer buyers who have already been assured of getting a loan. Buyers can also speed up their loan closings more quickly, typically by a week or two, says Deborah McNaughton, president of Professional Credit Counselors of Brea, Calif. Getting preapproved is different from getting prequalified for a loan. With a prequalification, a lender will give you an estimate of how much you can afford to borrow based on information you provide. A preapproval is a firmer commitment on the part of the lender, which verifies key information provided, to make a loan.
