LOAN QUALIFICATION: Pre-Approval or Pre-Qualification Letter. Do you know the difference….? It can be deceiving because you might think that you are fully approved when you are not. . . Pre-Qualification = A simple assessment by the lender. This does NOT commit the lender at all to the applicant, being only an opinion of the lender....Pre-Approval = A more in-depth assessment of a borrower’s buying capacity based on income. Unlike a pre-qualification, a pre-approval letter also checks the applicant’s credit and is a surer verification of a borrower’s income. It takes longer to process and will require more comprehensive documentation, but gives a clearer and more definitive guarantee of the loan amount a borrower is entitled to.

One Asheville lender offers online assessment forms.

WHAT BUYERS MUST KNOW ABOUT

Working with Real Estate Professionals in the State of North Carolina

"IT’S THE LAW!" Printer Friendly Version: Click HERE North Carolina’s state-mandated consumer protection law. Here is a brief description of North Carolina’s Law of Agency—about agency relationships and services, and representation in a real estate transaction. The Law of Agency says: On “first substantial contact” clients/potential clients need to know who is representing who. (Example: At The Eco-Steward Real Estate Firm we are essentially Buyers’ Brokers, representing buyers/investors. 95% of our business involves buyers/investors, although we do accept amazing properties to represent for the sellers from time-to-time.)

The Law of Agency says: Clients/potential clients have rights under the Law. These rights need to be reviewed prior to that client/potential client offering significant details that could negatively impact negotiations in a transaction.
