STEPS TO PURCHASE
Confused about the home buying financial process? You aren't alone! Here's a quick overview of the 6 steps to purchasing your home!
STEP 1
INITIAL CONSULTATION
The initial consultation covers how long you plan on living in the home, how much down payment you will need, and how much you want your monthly payments to be.
STEP 2
PRE-APPROVAL
The pre-approval step helps you determine how much home you can afford before you start shopping and lets sellers know you're serious about purchasing a home.
STEP 3
PROCESSING
After submitting your loan application, the file is reviewed for any necessary additional documents. Once finished, the processor submits your file to underwriting.
STEP 4
UNDERWRITING
The underwriter reviews your loan file to ensure all guidelines are met. Once your mortgage has been approved, your loan is moved to "Clear to Close" status.
STEP 5
PRE-CLOSING
Your loan estimate disclosure contains your loan rate, amount, term, and outstanding conditions. Once everything is cleared, the closing department will complete final docs.
STEP 6
CLOSING
During closing, you will sign a variety of final documents. Congrats! You are now a homeowner!
