No, most realtors prefer that home buyers are pre-approved by a financial institution prior to looking at houses to be sure they are searching in their accurate price range. By being pre-approved you shorten the length of time needed to process your mortgage loan allowing you to move into your new home sooner. In addition, sellers prefer to know that potential buyers are pre-approved when presented with an offer to purchase.
