Can the seller of the house make you get approved again?
I put an offer on a house, and the selling agent countered with a lot of demands. One of the demands being to send over financial statements to make sure I have closing cost and so I did. I countered again, and selling agent said I needed to get pre-approved by her choice of lender after she had already spoken to my current lender. We reached out the their said lender and were told it would only be a soft credit check since I have already had my credit ran in February when I locked in with my current lender. I did the application with her choice of lender for a soft check and they asked for bank statements, w2's and paystubs. I do not want my credit ran again and get dinged. Is this allowed? and all before they even accept an offer?
