1-- The best way to buy a house is to get pre-qualified, Ms. Anderson.
 
2-- Why is that, Mr. Williams?
 
1-- By pre-qualifying, you know beforehand which house you can buy.
 
2-- I thought I would look at houses first.
 
1-- That's okay too, but you may be wasting your time.
 
2-- How so, Mr. Williams?
 
1-- You may find a house you really like, but can't afford it.
 
2-- Well, that's when I'll negotiate with the seller.
 
1-- Yes, that's true, but by pre-qualifying, you'll save time, and effort.
 
2-- How is that?
 
1-- You will be able to select a home you know you can afford.
 
2-- Okay. Then we'll try it your way.
