Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a mortgage preapproval letter?

Preapprovals can be obtained in as little as one business day, depending on the mortgage lender you choose and your eligibility, but they typically take a few days or even a week to process. If you need to submit to an income audit or other verifications, the process may take longer still.

When should I get mortgage preapproval letter?
Before issuing a preapproval letter, lenders normally run a credit check on you. The letter may also include an expiration date (typically 30 to 60 days). For these reasons, a lot of people hold off on receiving a preapproval letter until they are prepared to start formally looking for a property.
Why is It important to get pre-approved?

A house buyer has more negotiating power if they are pre-approved for a mortgage since they can make a realistic offer to the seller of a home they are interested in because they already have mortgage financing.
