What Is a Pre-Approval?
Pre-approvals are a breeze and play a crucial role when you’re on the hunt for your dream home in Minnesota. Think of a pre-approval as a seal of approval that gives you the confidence to embark on your home-buying journey. It’s a straightforward process where we thoroughly assess your qualifications for a potential home loan, ensuring you’re ready to take the exciting step of purchasing a home. Say goodbye to guesswork!
During the pre-approval process, we meticulously review your income, credit, and assets. Once everything checks out, we provide you with a letter that confirms you’re “qualified” and ready to pursue a new home loan. Simply gather your necessary documents and submit them to your Loan Officer, and we’ll take care of the rest!
When you’re ready to make an offer on a home, especially in a competitive seller’s market, it’s essential to have the strongest offer possible. That’s where a solid pre-approval comes in. By backing up your offer with proof of funding, you demonstrate your seriousness and credibility as a buyer. A solid pre-approval is like the missing piece that completes your offer puzzle and increases your chances of securing your dream home.

How Does a Pre-Approval Benefit Your Home Purchase?

Pre-Approval vs Pre-Qualification
Pre-qualifications and pre-approvals serve the purpose of helping you determine your house-buying budget. While they have a similar goal, they are distinct processes.
Pre-qualifications provide a ballpark estimate based on a simple math equation using your income and debt. It’s a quick and accessible calculation that anyone can do.
In contrast, a pre-approval involves a detailed evaluation of your income, assets, and credit. Our licensed Loan Officers in Minnesota thoroughly assess your financial situation to determine if you qualify for a home loan. Once approved, you receive a pre-approval letter to use while house hunting.
With a pre-approval from Treadstone, you can confidently navigate the housing market, knowing that professionals have evaluated your financial readiness. Our aim is to ensure you are well-prepared for homeownership.

How Long Are Pre-Approvals Good For?
Pre-approvals for mortgages typically have a validity period of 90-120 days. But here’s the good news: if your pre-approval expires, there’s no need to worry. Your dedicated Loan Officer will be there to assist you in obtaining a new one.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that if your financial circumstances undergo any changes during that timeframe, it’s essential to reach out to your Loan Officer promptly. This ensures that your pre-approval terms remain accurate and up to date.
