A commitment letter is given by the lender stating the terms which it agrees to provide a mortgage to a homebuyer. Commitment letters help you set realistic goals while you’re house-hunting, provide the same negotiating ability as a cash buyer, and enable you to move quickly once the perfect home is found.
