How Our Mortgage Process Works

1. Apply for Pre-Approval

Your first step to homeownership starts with applying for pre-approval. See above for what items we recommend you have on hand.

2. Review Your Options

Once we receive all of your requested documents, we'll schedule a time for us to meet so we can review your mortgage options, talk about the home buying process, and issue your pre-approval!

3. Search for Your Home

Now for the fun part...you can start searching for your dream home! Your pre-approval will show buyers that you're serious and make your offer more appealing.

4. Get An Offer Accepted

Once you find your dream home and your offer is accepted, your interest rate will be locked in.

5. Title Work Ordered

Next, all of the appraisal and title work is ordered.

6. Underwriting

All documents are then sent to underwriting for review - you're in the home stretch!

7. Final Figures

Once underwriting is done reviewing everything, you'll receive final figures for closing.

8. Closing

Now all you have to do is attend the closing with your driver’s license and receive the keys to your new home. Congratulations!

Easy Peasy,
