“let’s get you pre-approved for a mortgage.” Pre-approval sounds fun. Maybe because it has my favorite word in it? I love approval. I seek it from basically any and everyone. Being pre-approved sounded like there was even more approval on the horizon, and this was just a formality: a way for the bank to look me up and down and say, “Yep, we like what we see, come on back in a few weeks for some more affirmations and validations.”
