🏡 Pre-Qualification vs. Pre-Approval: What’s the Difference? When it comes to buying a home, understanding the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval is key! Both are important steps in the mortgage process, but they serve different purposes. 🔑 Pre-Qualification is a quick estimate of how much you can borrow based on the financial info you provide. It's great for getting a general idea of your budget. 🔑 Pre-Approval, on the other hand, is more in-depth. It involves verifying your financial details with a lender, giving you a more accurate loan amount and showing sellers you're serious. Want to learn more?

#ThrowbackThursday to our early days in downtown Manitowoc! 🏦💰 Originally located at the corner of York and North 8th Streets, our bank outgrew its space and relocated in 1927 to the first floor of the Hotel Manitowoc building—now known as Dali’s Café. If you stroll down Eighth Street today, you can still spot the ornate entrance that marked our bank’s home nearly a century ago. It’s a lasting reminder of our long-standing commitment to the community! 💙✨ To learn more about our history, visit https://lnkd.in/gATrFpt9. #CommunityHistory #BankFirst
