TRUE PREAPPROVAL

A prequalification is simply a discussion with your lender, while a True Preapproval looks at your financial picture, including your credit report. The seller can see that you are ready to buy, and we can quickly get you to closing and move day. To make it even more appealing, the average True Preapproval can be ready for you in as little as one to two hours.

Once you have a True Preapproval with MSGCU, all you need is a new address.
