Our Mortgage Process

STEP 1: Apply and Gather Financial Information

STEP 2: Get Pre-Approved—this is the key step to success!

2. You’ll get updated mortgage disclosures specific to the home you are purchasing.

STEP 4: Appraise and Verify Property

1. We’ll order and coordinate your appraisal.

STEP 5: Loan Processing & Underwriting

1. We’ll compile your full financial file for final underwriting review.

2. We’ll fill in any “gaps” (updated bank statements, paystubs, etc).

3. We’ll review your final underwriting approval and dot any remaining i’s.

STEP 3: Closing and Funding

1. Your final loan documents will be prepared and you’ll sign them at the escrow company. You will bring in your down payment at the same time.
