Why Sellers Love Preapproved Buyers

A preapproval letter tells the seller you’re serious and financially vetted. In a competitive market, it can be the difference between winning and losing the house.

  • Stronger offers: Your letter adds confidence for the seller and listing agent.
  • Faster timelines: With financing groundwork done, closing often moves smoother.
  • Better planning: You shop with a realistic price range from the start.
