[email protected]An Overview of the Loan Process
Free Consultation
How Much You Can Afford?
This is a function of a couple things. How much of a monthly payment can you afford? What is the maximum you can borrow from a lender, given your income and credit history? We can guide you to the right loan amount and best program for you when you answer a few 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.
Pre-Qualification
Determining The Factors That Affect You
This is where the process really begins and you save the most money. You will provide information on your current job, your assets, and your residence history. We pull your credit score and report. After reviewing the provided information, we'll provide you with a pre-qualification letter — a great tool when you make your offer! The pre-qual letter gives you buying clout!
Loan Application
Applying For Your Loan
Once you have made the offer and the sellers accept it, it's time to apply for the loan. Applying for your loan couldn't get much easier — you can apply right here on our site. After the offer has been accepted and you have applied for your loan, we will order a professional appraisal on the home.
Funding
One Step Closer to Securing Your Property
The agents will find a title company to handle the funding of the loan and closing. We'll work with this company to ensure all the papers your lender needs are available. We coordinate with this company on your closing date so you can concentrate on moving logistics and all the details of moving into your new home.
Congratulations! You're ready to buy a home!
