Verified Pre-approval Letter

Start home shopping with confidence.

Put yourself in a strong position to get the home you love with our new and improved pre-approval letter.

Understanding a Verified Pre-approval Letter.

Unlike our traditional pre-approval, our Verified Pre-Approval Letter (VPAL) could strengthen your offer once an underwriter has fully reviewed and verified your credit, income and assets. Once you have your VPAL in hand, it’ll be valid for 90 days from your most recent credit pull.  Learn more about VPALs.
