Pre-Approval letter expiration

[Chanise P.]

Hi All,

So my fiancee and i have been shopping around for multi's and haven't found anything yet. We ended up switching realtors but are now running into an expired approval letter issue. I have a few questions:

1. Is this new inquiry going to seriously damage my credit score?

2. I'm thinking of switching lenders: if i stayed and they did a "dust off" of the expired one would that be better for my credit?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
