In our first official episode of Port City Living: Escrows & Egos, we’re spilling the tea on one of the biggest buyer mistakes—skipping pre-approval. There’s a world of difference between being “qualified” and actually being “approved,” and trust us, your dream home doesn’t care about your “qualifications.”

We’ll also dish on why working with a local lender can save your deal (and your sanity), while those flashy internet lenders might leave you ghosted at the closing table. Approval isn’t just paperwork—it’s power. If you want to shop smart, avoid heartbreak, and start strong, this is the episode you can’t afford to miss.

Do I Need Your Approval?
