Judith Gottesfeld answered:
Dear Ryan,

My experience is that the process is the other way around. You have to be pre-approved before submitting an offer. If you are referring to an REO/foreclosed property, the bank will not accept an offer without a pre-approval by their own institution. If you are referring to a traditional sale, your offer will be more favorably considered if you have already been pre-approved by a reputable lender.

Which scenario did you experience that wanted an offer before your pre-approval?
