- Initial review – During the initial review, you will be assigned a Loan processor who will stay with, and process your loan all the way through to closing. Your Loan Processor will organize your submitted documents and assure that all the paperwork is complete prior to final review.
- Underwriting – After your processor has gathered and organized all your documentation it is then sent on to the loan ‘Underwriter’ for a review and to assure that your loan package fits the guidelines required for your loan program.
Underwriters evaluate the loan application and make the credit decision. In some cases they need more information to make their decision. We will contact you and help you with the additional materials if required. - Approval decision – Once your loan is approved, a closing date can be set. Prior to the closing, the HUD-1 (required by the Housing and Urban Development department of the U.S. government) is your final settlement statement, and is delivered to you for your review.
- Settlement costs and payments. Typically at closing, you will review and settle any credits and costs such as; closing costs, earnest money deposits, taxes, escrow fees, insurance requirements (if applicable), etc.
- Review and sign your papers. At the closing, you’ll spend the majority of your time reviewing the closing documents with the details and terms of your loan
- You’ll also be signing your name, agreeing to the loan, the terms, etc. A neutral third party known as an “Escrow Officer” will supervise the paperwork process and will assure that you are comfortable with the terms of your new loan.
