Get Pre-Approved Before You Start Shopping<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3223\" data-end=\"3409\">In Denver\u2019s active market, homes often go under contract within days. A pre-approval letter shows sellers you\u2019re serious and ready to move \u2014 giving you a competitive edge from the start.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"3416\" data-end=\"3455\"><strong data-start=\"3420\" data-end=\"3455\">2.
