Mortgage Application Approval

Priority Assurance Preapproval and Premier Approval

With SouthState’s Priority Assurance Preapproval and Premier Approval you can be ahead of the competition in a high demand market.

Find the best solution to begin your homebuying journey.

Priority Assurance Preapproval

This is an early first step in your homebuying journey that you may want to consider if you’re thinking about buying a home but haven’t narrowed your search quite yet. You will get a letter with the estimated amount you might be able to borrow. This is based on information you provide us about your finances including allowing us to perform a credit check. This is not an application or a binding credit decision.

Premier Approval

This is a process you may want to consider if you have focused your search and are ready to make an offer on a home soon. You can voluntarily provide us with documentation confirming your income, assets and liabilities, including allowing us to perform a credit check. While an Underwriter will review and either issue you a conditional credit approval or a statement of denial, this is not a commitment to lend.
