    I'm not making this remark only to the OP, it's to everyone who asks a general question such as this one -- it would be SO VERY useful if we could know WHERE the question situation is located, or at least what country.

    I'm not quite sure what the question here is. First, a real estate broker telling a potential buyer what they can qualify for is about as useful as a plumber forecasting the weather. The buyer, before making an offer on any property IN THE US should meet with a loan officer and get an approval letter. But maybe you meant a mortgage broker.

    As to whether the loan rate would be adjusted upwards if the potential buyer has more money in the bank (which is what I THINK is the question) that's backwards. Rates are lower for people who have MORE money, not less.

    This buyer really needs to speak with some lenders; not mortgage brokers, but loan officers from lending institutions.
