Loan Process > Step Five: Obtain Loan Approval

 

 

Once your loan application has been received we will start the loan approval process immediately. This involves verifying your:

 

1.      Credit history

2.      Employment history

3.      Assets including your bank accounts, stocks, mutual fund and retirement accounts

4.      Property value

 

 

Based on your specific situation, additional documents or verifications may be required. To improve your chances of getting a loan approval:

 

.        Fill out the loan application completely

.        Respond promptly to any requests for additional documents. This is especially critical if your rate is locked or if you plan to close by a certain date.

.        Do not make any major purchases. Do not buy a car, furniture or another house till your loan is closed. Anything that causes your debts to increase might have an adverse effect on your current application.

.        Do not move money into your bank accounts unless it can be traced. If you are receiving money from friends, family or other relatives, please contact us.

.        Do not go out of town around the closing date. If you do plan to be out of town when your loan is expected to close, you may sign a power of attorney, to authorize another individual to sign on your behalf.
