Whether you will be purchasing a home with cash or financing it, the foundation of a home purchase exists in how it is going to be funded.

A pre-approval goes beyond a credit report and verifies your employment & residency information and preliminarily approves you for a mortgage conditioned on the home you are buying meets all appraisal and underwriting criteria.
