Make Your Offer Stand Out with a Home Loan Pre-Approval*
A verified Pre-Approval gives you the confidence of knowing how much house you can afford. Our Pre-Approval program is verified by our Underwriting Team, and lets sellers know you're a serious buyer who can qualify for the house you are interested in.
*WaFd Bank Pre-Approvals are based on verified credit, income, and employment verification.
