Step 1: Gather Your Documents (Let’s Get Organized!)

Before applying, you’ll need to round up some key financial documents. Think of this as getting your ducks in a row so your loan process moves smoothly.

Here’s a checklist of what you’ll need:

Proof of Income: Recent pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements (if self-employed).

Employment Verification: A letter from your employer or recent W-2s.

Checkmark

Credit History: Authorization for a credit check, plus explanations for any past credit issues.

Checkmark

Assets & Debts: Account statements (savings, retirement, investments) + any loans or credit card balances.

💡 Pro Tip: Having these documents ready in advance can speed up your approval process!

Step 2: Submit Your Application (You’re on Your Way!)

Once your documents are ready, it’s time to officially apply for your mortgage. This involves filling out a Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA)—fancy name, but it’s just a form covering:

  • Your income and employment history
  • Your assets, liabilities, and credit
  • Details about the home you’re buying or refinancing

📣 Good news: Our team will help you complete the application accurately and answer any questions along the way!

Step 3: Processing & Underwriting (Behind-the-Scenes Approval)

This is where the real magic happens. Our team will review your financial details and ensure everything checks out.

  • Processing: We verify your documents, order an appraisal, and gather anything else needed.
  • Underwriting: A loan expert (underwriter) assesses your profile to decide on approval.
  • You might be asked for extra documents—don’t stress! This is totally normal, and we’ll guide you through it.

Step 4: Closing Day (The Finish Line!)

Congratulations—your loan is approved! Now it’s time for the final step: closing on your home.

Here’s what to expect:

  • Sign the Final Documents: You’ll review and sign the paperwork to make everything official.
  • Funds Disbursed: The lender releases the money to complete your purchase or refinance.
  • Celebrate Your Milestone: You’ll get the keys to your new home or start enjoying the benefits of your refinance.

We’ll walk you through every document so there are no surprises.
