Is That Pre-Approval Real?

An offer comes in. The pre-approval letter looks official. But was the buyer actually vetted?

A strong pre-approval and a quick online pre-qualification can look almost identical on paper. The difference usually shows up weeks later, when a deal falls apart in escrow. This free class gives you a simple, repeatable way to find out early, whether you represent the seller or the buyer.

Who should attend
Listing agents, buyer’s agents, team leaders, and anyone who reviews or writes offers.
