Ok, need your help people. Have a good friend that is interested in a house for sale in Wauconda. She's contacted a few realtors & they told her she can't even look at the house until she's pre-approved for a mortgage. There would be no contingency as she is currently living in an apartment above her successful veterinary practice. It's been a long time since I've been in the market for a house, but is this really a requirement these days? Seems ridiculous! Any area realtors interested in showing her this house?
