We strive to build lasting relationships that enable each and every person relying on us for their financing needs the opportunity to achieve the American dream.

PRE-QUALIFICATION & DOCUMENTATION The first step is to complete a full loan application, which can be done online or with the assistance of your mortgage broker. Once your application is received your mortgage broker will guide and help determine which loan program best fits your needs while informing you of the needed documentation to move forward with the process.

This is the fun part; you can work with a licensed real estate profes- sional that will help find that house you can call home! Along the way, they will assist in making sure you are aware of any unseen orunno- ticed issues to insure you are buying with confidence. Once you find the right place they will work on your behalf for the best terms and price of the sale.

BEGIN THE LOAN PROCESS Once all parties have agreed to the terms of the sales contract, your mortgage broker will begin collecting information to provide the best program options and terms available. A Loan Estimate will be provided to detail the loan specifics such as the interest rate, monthly payment and total closing costs. The Loan Estimate shows you what

If you decide to move forward, the mortgage broker will ask for additional financial information for the processing of the loan.

Your REALTOR® can recommend a capable home inspector for a thorough inspection of the property. The inspector will check for any structural and/or material defect, items you will want to know about before your purchase. After the inspection is complete your mortgage banker will place the order for your appraisal and a licensed appraiser will be randomly selected to complete the order.

Once the underwriter has reviewed all the documentation provided for the buyer and it meets the minimum requirements they will issue a “conditional approval.” However, this approval will still have a few items needed to get a final approval.

MORTGAGE DOs & DONTs DOs:

• KEEP ALL RECORDS AND DOCUMENTS IN GOOD ORDER

• AVAILABILITY - Keep your financial records close at hand in case updates are requested.

• INCOME - Be aware that underwriters typically verify your income and tax documents through your employer(s), CPA, and/or IRS tax transcripts. Hold onto new paystubs as received.

• ASSETS - Continue saving account statements. Keep all numbered pages of each statement. Ex. 8 of 8.

• GIFTS - If you’re receiving any gift money from relatives, they’ll need to sign a gift letter (we’ll provide) and an account statement evidencing the source, which must be “seasoned” funds. • CURRENT RESIDENCE - If you’re renting, continue paying your rent on time and save proof of payment. If you’re selling your current residence, be prepared to show your closing disclosure. If you’ll be renting your home, you may need to show sufficient equity, a lease and receipt of the first month’s rent and security deposit. • KEEP YOUR CREDIT SHINING - Continue making payments on time. Your credit report may be refreshed, and any negative change to your report could cause you to lose your approval and your home. • UNDERSTAND THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED - Underwriters require more documentation than in the past. Even if requests seem silly, intrusive or unnecessary, please remember that if they didn’t need it, they wouldn’t ask.

DONTs:

• APPLY FOR NEW CREDIT - Changes in credit can cause delays, change the terms of your financing or even prevent closing. If you must open a new account (or even borrow against retirement funds), please consult with us first. • CHANGE JOBS DURING THE PROCESS - Probationary periods, career or even staus changes (such as from a salaried to a commisioned position, leave of absence or new bonus structure) can be subject to very strict rules. • MAKE UNDOCUMENTED DEPOSITS - Primarily large but sometimes even small deposits must be sourced unless they are identified. Make copies of checks and deposit slips. Make sure you keep all documents on any large deposit. • WAIT TO LIQUIDATE FUNDS FROM STOCK OR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT - If you need to sell investments, do it now and document the transaction. Don’t take the risk that the market could move against you leaving you short of funds to close.
