✅ What Is Mortgage Pre-Approval?

Pre-approval means a lender has reviewed your financial information and confirms how much you're approved to borrow—giving you buying power and credibility.

Pre-approval letters are typically valid for 60–90 days and help you:

  • 🏠 Know your true budget before house hunting
  • 💪 Strengthen your offer in competitive markets like Nashville, Franklin, and Brentwood
  • 📑 Move faster when you find “the one”

📂 Step-by-Step: How to Get Pre-Approved

  1. 📄 Gather Financial Docs: Pay stubs, W-2s, bank statements, and credit info
  2. 🏦 Choose a Lender: We’ll connect you to trusted partners who shop for the best rates
  3. 📝 Submit Your Application: Most pre-approvals take 1–2 business days
  4. 📨 Get Your Pre-Approval Letter: Use it to start touring and making offers!
