Relocation and the Value of a Pre-Approval Letter
Corporate relocation benefits may include a paid visit or visits to find a home in your new location. You can make this visit a success by understanding what you can afford with a pre-approval letter. This allows you to narrow-in on your home faster while avoiding disappointment and embarrassment.

- A pre-approval letter is provided by your mortgage lender stating the amount they are willing to lend you.
- Premia Relocation Mortgage provides a pre-approval letter and can customize for an offer you are extending to a seller.
- You’ll be able to focus your efforts on homes with prices that don’t exceed the amount you’ve been pre-approved for.
- You can plan ahead for other monthly expenses based on anticipated mortgage payments.
- You’ll have greater negotiating power when bidding on properties. Sellers know they can count on a faster – and more solid – sale with pre-approved buyers.
- The path to closing is typically faster. Since you’ve already completed nearly all of the paperwork, you’re on the fast-track to closing.
- Pre-qualification is a verbal, tentative estimate of how much you’d be able to borrow. It doesn’t have as much “teeth” as a pre-approval does since no documentation has been collected.
- Pre-approval is the first step toward your full mortgage application. It requires income, assets and employment to be verified.
