Tuesday, 20 January, 2026
Most buyers think they're prepared long before they actually are. And the sentence that usually gives them false confidence? "We're pre-qualified." In this episode, Kevin Martini breaks down the real difference between pre-approval and pre-qualification—not in lender jargon, but in real-life consequences. Because this isn't about paperwork.
