   Yes. It is important not to get this confused with a commitment letter. Remember a that pre-approval is simply a statement that lets you know the amount you will qualify for, as long as all information you have provided is accurate.
   A pre-approval can help you target a price range within which you can select your home and will also go a long way in helping you negotiate a price. It also shows that your finances are in order and you’ll likely be considered as a cash buyer, meaning you could have an opportunity to save a lot of money. Just a tip; remember not to waive the financing condition on your purchase until the commitment letter has been fully satisfied.
