Top Producer for Guaranteed Rate Affinity Discusses the Importance of The Pre-Approval Letter in Today’s Competitive Real Estate Market
This month, top producer for leading mortgage technology and services provider Guaranteed Rate Affinity, Dean Scaduto, discusses the importance of the pre-approval letter for those looking to buy a home in today’s market.

This last year has presented a myriad of challenges, with the global pandemic impacting virtually every market and industry, often in unfavorable ways. Yet some markets have remained largely unscathed throughout the turmoil.

One such industry is the US housing market. The current real estate climate is one that highly favors sellers, with annual price growth outpacing that of years prior. According to the NY Times, price growth for the USA real estate market isn’t just trending upward, it’s set to hit record highs even as inventory continues to decline.

Although ideal for sellers, this situation poses unique challenges for buyers seeking to purchase a home. This month, top producer for leading mortgage technology and services provider Guaranteed Rate Affinity, Dean Scaduto discusses the importance of the pre-approval letter for those looking to buy a home in today’s market.

The Importance of Getting Pre-Approved 

Limited inventory and growing demand is a seller’s dream come true, but a bane on those seeking to purchase a home in 2020 and beyond. This formula is the perfect recipe for higher prices and increasing pressure from sellers for buyer’s to come to the table ready to close.

Dean Scaduto stresses the importance of starting the pre-approval process for a mortgage early. “Fall and winter weather might be just around the corner, but competition for homes is heated up. Buyers who connect with a loan officer early are often able to pull the trigger on their dream home quickly, and set themselves apart when multiple offers are on the table.” 

Benefits of a Pre-Approval Letter Include:

  • Provides buyers with an accurate representation of how much mortgage they can afford
  • Enables buyers to fast-track closings and to move quickly on their dream home
  • Establishes credibility as a ‘buyer’ and shows sellers they are serious
  • Can help buyers stand out in multi-offer scenarios


The Right Loan Officer Makes a Difference

According to Dean Scaduto, partnering with the right loan officer can make a real difference in getting pre-approved for a mortgage, as well as the mortgage rate, terms and amount of financing available. As Dean states, “Not all pre-approvals are the same. It’s important that real estate agents know the loan officer that issued the pre-approval. When an agent sees my name on a letter, they know that the buyer has been fully documented and vetted out by my team.”

He takes a consultative approach, taking time to fully understand his client’s financial position, history, projections, and goals.
