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. It's about peace of mind.
You'll hear why:
Pre-qualification often feels like progress—but quietly delays clarity
Pre-approval isn't a commitment, pressure, or point of no return
The most stressful moments in homebuying usually come after someone thought they were "ready"
And why confident buyers aren't luckier—they're clearer
If you've ever worried about:
being surprised by numbers
making a decision too fast
falling in love before knowing the full picture
or feeling foolish for missing something you "should've known"
This episode will feel uncomfortably accurate—in the best way.
