The process

How does getting pre-approved work?

Three steps, and most buyers have a letter within a few days.

  1. You tell us a little

    Your name, how to reach you, and roughly when you want to buy.

  2. We make the introduction

    Our preferred lender reaches out, usually the same day, and walks you through the application, the credit check, and the documents.

  3. You get your number

    Once approved, you know your budget and have a pre-approval letter ready for offers.

Step one is the easy one. A pre-approval tells you what you can buy.

Pre-approval

What is a mortgage pre-approval, and why does it matter in Las Vegas?

A pre-approval is a lender's written statement that you qualify for a loan up to a set amount, after they have checked your credit and reviewed your income and assets.

Is pre-approval the same as pre-qualification?

No.

Does pre-approval hurt my credit?

It takes a hard credit check, which usually lowers a score by a few points for a short time.

How long does a pre-approval letter last?

Usually 60 to 90 days, depending on the lender.

Does pre-approval guarantee the loan?

No.

While you wait: see the payment at the price you have in mind.

Documents

What will the lender ask for?

Have these ready and the pre-approval moves fast. Your lender will tell you if they need anything else.

Photo ID and Social Security number

For the application and the credit check.

Proof of income

Your last 30 days of pay stubs and two years of W-2s.

Bank and investment statements

The last two months for every account you will use for the down payment and closing costs, all pages.

Gift letter, if family is helping

A signed letter saying the money is a gift, not a loan, plus a record of the transfer.

Debts and other obligations

Car loans, student loans, child support, and any other homes you own.

Military service record, for a VA loan

Your lender can usually request the Certificate of Eligibility for you.

Questions

What do buyers ask about pre-approval?

How long does it take to get pre-approved?

Often one to three days once the lender has your documents. Self-employed buyers or complicated income can take longer.

Does getting pre-approved hurt my credit score?

A hard credit check usually costs a few points for a short time. Under current FICO scoring, mortgage checks within 45 days count as one, so you can compare lenders.

How long is a pre-approval letter good for?

Usually 60 to 90 days, depending on the lender. It can be updated if your search takes longer.

What is the difference between pre-qualified and pre-approved?

Pre-qualification is an estimate from what you say. Pre-approval is based on your credit report and your documents, and it is what Las Vegas sellers expect to see with an offer.

Do I have to use your preferred lender?

No. You can use any lender you like. We recommend ours because they communicate well and close on time, which helps your offer.

Can I still be denied after I'm pre-approved?

Yes. The loan is final only after the appraisal and underwriting. New debt, a job change, or a low appraisal can change it, so keep your finances steady until closing.

Should I get pre-approved before I start looking?

Yes. It tells you what you can afford, and you will be ready to write an offer the day the right home lists.

What is a mortgage pre-approval, and why does it matter in Las Vegas?

A pre-approval is a lender's written statement that you qualify for a loan up to a set amount, after they have checked your credit and reviewed your income and assets. Most Las Vegas listing agents expect a pre-approval letter, or proof of funds for cash, with every offer, and many will not show an offer to the seller without one.

It also protects you. Knowing your number before you tour keeps you from falling for a home you cannot buy, and it shows you what the monthly payment looks like with taxes, insurance, and HOA dues, which matter a lot here because most Las Vegas homes are in an HOA.

Is pre-approval the same as pre-qualification?

No. A pre-qualification is an estimate from what you tell the lender, without checking. A pre-approval is based on your credit report and your documents, so sellers trust it much more. Get pre-approved.

Does pre-approval hurt my credit?

It takes a hard credit check, which usually lowers a score by a few points for a short time. Under current FICO scoring, mortgage checks inside a 45 day shopping window count as one, so comparing lenders does not stack up damage.

How long does a pre-approval letter last?

Usually 60 to 90 days, depending on the lender. If your search runs longer, the lender updates your documents and reissues the letter.

Does pre-approval guarantee the loan?

No. Final approval comes after you are under contract, once the home appraises and underwriting signs off. The surest way to keep it on track is to leave your finances alone: no new credit, no job changes, and no large unexplained deposits until you close.
