Prequalification and preapproval

Before you go looking for a home, it's a good idea to see how much financing you may qualify for. At Chase, we are happy to help you become prequalified or preapproved for the loan that best suits your needs.

Prequalified means that we have helped you establish a home-buying budget, but have not yet approved your application. Preapproved means that you have actually applied for loan and received conditional approval, pending the successful purchase of a new home.
