Does a pre-approval guarantee a loan?

No. A pre-approval is a strong, verified indication you qualify, but final approval depends on the property appraising, clear title, and your finances staying the same through closing. It's not an absolute guarantee.

Avoid new debt, job changes, or large unexplained deposits before closing and the pre-approval typically becomes the loan. We'll tell you exactly what to avoid so nothing derails it.
