I prefer to have all the due diligence completed prior to writing the pre-approval letter. That way, the letter means something!

The agents and Realtors I work with would not be happy if I gave them pre-approvals that were subject to failure. Not all clients love gathering all their info prior to getting a pre-approval, but no one serious about buying a house seems to mind.

Of course the documents need to be seen and reviewed.
Then the PA provided. That not doing much at all, but the minimum required in order to get the e-Key out.

Very quickly ofterward, the data must be VERIFIED. This is the the more important step and the document of verification status should be readily available and communicated efficiently. When the verification comes in and the last years wage was 40% bonus....yikes.

Arlene Blaker Doing business the RIGHT way

I am glad the Realtors want all documents prior because that is the only way to secure the best results. I have realtors that say the buyer will have the funds after the contract and that is NOT the results. If they have no mortgage payment prior and cannot save the down payment then they might not be the best risk for a bank to provide the home loan.
