The Importance of
Pre-Qualification

There is a list of recommended lending institutions and agents in our Contractors and Services list under Loan Agents for your reference.

 Buyers may also use a letter of reference from your stockbroker and/or trust holder as a letter of “pre-qualification.” 

Supplying a letter of pre-qualification or verification on funds can make a major difference in the comfort level of a seller in consideration of an offer.
