LOAN APPLICATION

The first step is to complete a loan application with us either by phone or with our secure online application. Applying for a loan is free and will give you a great guide as to how much home you can afford.

CONSULTATION

We are committed to spending the time with you to understand your goals and how we can best help you.

GATHER DOCUMENTS

 You will be asked to provide documents that back up what is on your loan application. Tax returns, W-2s, and other documents will be required in order that we can put together the package for approval.

PRE-APPROVAL

Once your documents are received, we start you through the pre-approval process. In this stage, you will have a better understanding of how much you can be approved for, or what other criteria will need to be met.

STRATEGIZE LOAN

At this point, it may be necessary to meet with us to strategize the type of loan you want depending on what loan products you qualify for. For example; what is more strategic, 15 years or 30 years?

SHOP FOR YOUR HOME

Now its time hire an agent and start house shopping to find your next home. This can be the fun part of the process. Be sure during this time, you do not enter into any credit contracts, buy a new car, or miss a payment. Be diligent!

MAKE AN OFFER

Once you have found a home that fits your needs in a location your desire, make a solid offer. If the housing inventory is low, it may take a few offers to finally get one accepted. Stay flexible, open minded, and persistent.

OFFER ACCEPTED
OPEN ESCROW

Congratulations! You have an offer accepted. Take a moment to celebrate. We will open escrow and your agent will order inspections, appraisals, and manage the contingencies in your accepted offer.

INSPECTIONS
APPRAISALS

Inspections are an important part of the process as they will help protect your investment. The appraisal is also key, as the property will need to appraise for the loan amount.

UNDERWRITING
CONDITIONAL APPROVAL

Our skilled team of Underwriters will review your file to ensure that you qualify. Underwriting is done in-house, giving our team full control over the transaction to ensure a smooth process.

CLOSE LOAN

Clear to close! The greatest three words in this process! Escrow will set up time to meet, sign documents, pull all the funds together, and distribute funds. They will record the transaction with the county clerk's office and you GET YOUR KEYS! Congratulations!
