Pre-Approved in Minutes

Zillow recently launched a new series of “What If” commercials, leading to the question “What if I could get preapproved in minutes?”

After clicking the “Get Pre-Approved” tab buyers can enter information about income, monthly debt, and credit score.  This populates a probable loan amount estimate.  Buyers then have the choice of taking it a step further by entering personal contact information and the tool pulls individual credit reports.

If lender standards are met, the buyer is sent an online preapproval letter.  Simple.  Fast.  Easy.
