The Loan Process
 

 Get pre-qualified or pre-approved
When you start shopping for a home, it's nice to know just how much home you can afford. Even better, wouldn't you like an edge over other buyers interested in the same home you are?

Here's the difference between these two buyer tools.

Pre-qualification Pre-approval
 
Provides a "ballpark" estimate of your borrowing power
 
Is based on summary information you provide on your income and assets
 
Requires satisfactory review of property, financial documents and program requirements to issue final approval
 
Is offered by most lenders
 
Provides proof to real estate agents and sellers that you're approved for a specific loan amount
 
Is based on a verification of your income, credit and assets (in some cases, verification may not even be necessary)
 
Requires a satisfactory appraisal and title review and no change in financial condition for final approval
 
Is offered by Countrywide as a service to you before you find a home at no cost
 
Is quick and easy
