Finance

An Oklahoma buyer's pre-approval letter from a lender differs from pre-qualification in that pre-approval typically involves:

AA shorter process with less documentation
BActual verification of income, assets, credit, and employment, resulting in a conditional loan commitment — more reliable than pre-qualification which is based on unverified information✓ Correct
CNo credit check whatsoever
DOnly the buyer's word on income and assets

Explanation

Pre-approval involves full underwriting: verified income (pay stubs, tax returns), asset documentation, credit check, and employment verification. Pre-qualification is based on self-reported information only. Sellers prefer pre-approved buyers because it signals stronger financing certainty.
