Start Escrow
Congratulations! You are on your way to becoming a homeowner! Meet with your loan officer to sign the loan application and disclosures. Discuss the loan process and set expectations, lock your interest rate and confirm monthly mortgage payment. The loan goes to Processing and Underwriting. Our processing team orders the appraisal, title report, and other necessary documents. Then, your loan gets submitted to Underwriting for approval. There may be some paperwork that needs to be updated, and your loan team will let you know what else may be required for final loan approval.
Closing, Funding, and Recording
