Mortgage Calculators To Help Plan Your Home Purchase

Our Easy Loan Process

Let’s Talk About You

Set up a meeting with your mortgage loan officer to discuss your home financing needs, goals, and current fiscal situation. Be prepared to provide information on your current income, assets, and liabilities. You’ll also need to agree to a review of your credit report. We’ll use this information to provide a pre-qualification for a loan, including the loan amount that you qualify for.

Shopping for a home with pre-qualification is shopping with confidence!

Apply Online

Your loan officer will provide you with a more detailed list of required documents for your official loan application. The documents required to approve and underwrite your loan can vary depending on program, credit score, and job type.

During this step, you’ll also be looking to make an offer on your new home.

Let Us Do The Work

Once your offer to purchase a home has been accepted, your loan officer and their team will begin processing your file for underwriting. During this time, we may request additional items that we need to approve your loan.

Generally, your rate will be locked at this time and an appraisal will be ordered.

Underwriting Process

Our in-house underwriting team will review the file to issue a loan decision. Your approval may require you to submit additional items. Once these extra items are submitted, we’ll be able to obtain final approval in 24 to 48 hours and your loan will be clear to close!

After your loan is clear to close, you will be notified of the exact amount of money you will need to bring to closing.

Clear to Close

Once you sign the final loan documents, the transaction will be completed and closed.
Congratulations!

If your loan was a purchase, you’re a new homeowner! Your real estate professional will have your house keys at closing or schedule a time to deliver them.

If your loan was a refinance, enjoy the benefits of your new loan!
