Jeff Baxter - Guild Mortgage - Home Loans

Q: What’s the difference between pre-approval and pre-qualification?
A: Pre-qualification is more of a quick estimate. Pre-approval is where we actually review your income, credit, and assets to give you a solid, verified number. If you’re serious about buying, pre-approval is the move—it puts you in a much stronger position when you make an offer.

Q: How much house can I actually afford vs what I’m approved for?
A: Great question—and honestly one of the most important ones. What you’re approved for and what you should be comfortable with can be two very different numbers. I help clients look at the full picture: monthly payment, lifestyle, future plans, and financial goals. The goal isn’t just getting approved—it’s making sure the home still feels like a good decision a year (or five) from now.
