Ever made an offer on a place you really loved, only to have it snatched away by another buyer? With an offer that was the same as your’s, or even a bit lower?

That happens, especially in this very hot Santa Fe market where multiple offers are becoming more and more common. What I can tell you is that a lot of sellers will reject an offer simply because it’s not accompanied by a lender’s pre-qualification letter.

What’s a pre-qual letter? It’s a letter prepared by the lender of your choice after you’ve made preliminary application for a home mortgage. It assures Sellers that you can actually obtain a mortgage and gives them the amount of the purchase price for which you’re qualified.
