The 3 Different Steps Your Loan Will Go Through!

1. Pre-Qualification – This is where we look at your total income, debts, credit, savings, money needed to close and your proposed monthly payment.

2. Loan Application – This is when your employment, income, debts and assets are put together and we start the verification process.

• Verifications : This is when your employment, income, money for closing, credit report, appraisal, title work, survey, and rent history are verified. All items must be received before your file is ready for underwriting. We are trying to meet your closing date. Rushing everything in at the last moment can delay your closing.
• Underwriting/Approval : The underwriter has the responsibility of making sure that your loan meets all the necessary guidelines. Additional documentation may be requested before final loan approval.

3. Closing: This is where you sign the final documents and you become the new homeowner. Your Realtor / Builder will make an appointment for you with the Title Company. If this date changes, we need to know as soon as possible. Any changes without all parties involved may delay your closing. You will need a **Cashiers Check made out to the Title Company. The Title Company will provide you with the final amount needed approximately 24 hours before closing. The figures on your Good Faith Estimate should be close to what is needed. Remember that the Good Faith Estimate is an estimate, not an exact amount. Please have the following taken care of before closing:

• Clear Termite Report - Fax to our office & bring original to closing.
• Homeowners Insurance - Contact your agent immediately and have him call us within 3-5 days of signing the sales contract for your new home.

** Cashiers Check - You will need certified funds for the exact dollar amount. It is OK to get more than necessary. Closing are scheduled with your title company between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. If you are married, you will both be required to be there. Call me if you have any questions on this.

What You Need At Closing

Please Remember We Need The Following BEFORE Closing!

1. Clear Termite Report - Fax to our office & bring original to closing.

1. Homeowners Insurance - Contact your agent immediately and have him call us within 3-5 days of signing the sales contract on your new home.

Cashiers Check - You will need certified funds for the exact dollar amount. It is OK to get more than necessary. Closing is scheduled with your title company between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday. If you are married, you will both be required to be there. Call me if you have any questions on this.

What You Can Do To Speed Up The Loan Process

• Quickly provide everything requested. This is very important.

• Don’t transfer or add money to any of your accounts (more than about $250) without saving documentation of where it came from, i.e. a paycheck stub or a copy of the check you're depositing. We need a paper trail of all deposits during this period of time.

• Try not to add debt between loan application and closing in case we have to re-verify your debts at the last minute.

Credit Information

You should review your credit at least once a year. This will help make sure that everything is accurate on your report.  The following is a list of the 3 different credit bureaus.  Please call me if you have any questions on your credit reports or how to dispute inaccurate information. There may be a small cost from each of the bureaus to order your credit information.

There are 3 different credit repositories / bureaus that store all the credit information in the United States.  Each one of the three may have the same or different information.  One credit bureau's information may be more updated than another's.  It is very important to check all three just to make sure that there is no inaccurate information being reported on you.  Here is how to reach the three bureaus.
