What is the difference between mortgage prequalification and preapproval?

« Back to Member Assistance

Prequalification is a rough calculation of the mortgage payment you can afford based on information you provide to your Mortgage Loan Officer.

Preapproval means you’re essentially ready to start shopping for a house as you have formally applied for the mortgage, and we’ve determined that you are eligible for a mortgage of a certain amount.
