LOAN PROCESS

Step One: Determine How Much You Can Borrow

This is a function of a couple things. How much of a monthly payment can you afford? And given your unique credit and employment history, income and debt, and goals, how much will a lender loan you? The first part you can get a rough idea of by using the mortgage rate feed on our website. We’ll also help you through different scenarios by asking a few simple questions. Based on standard lender guidelines, we’ll get you a good idea of what kind of terms and loan program you can expect to benefit most from.

Step Two: Pre-Qualify For Your Loan

This is where the rubber meets the road and you save the most money. You supply information about your employment, your assets, your residence history, etc. and we get your permission to run your credit score. When we review all this information and it looks good, we will give you a Pre-Qualification Letter. Handle it with care — to a home seller, it’s like a suitcase full of cash! Your realty agent will use your Pre-Qual (as they may call it) to make the best offer on the home you choose, and the seller knows you’re Pre-Qualified. It gives you buying power! And while you’re picking out the home that’s right for you, we’re busy finding the loan that’s right for you.

Step Three: Apply Now! We Make It Easy

Once you’ve made an offer and it’s been accepted, it’s time to complete the loan application. It couldn’t be easier, and you can do it online, right here at our website. When the time is right, we’ll order an appraisal of your new home.
