  1. Loan pre-qualification and product selection. Pre-qualification allows you to know what loan product will be best for you best for your individual needs and wishes, search for a home that you can afford based on your credit, income, and assets. The best situation and for time savings measures to supply the supporting financial documents including pay stubs, tax returns, and account statements to your Loan Originator. The formal application is completed once you have found the home you wish to purchase and you have the purchase contract executed by all parties.

2.     Home search.  Once you are pre-approved, start shopping with your real estate agent! When you decide on the right home for you, the terms of sale are negotiated and your agent presents your offer to the seller.

3.     Formal loan application. After the seller accepts your offer, formally apply for home mortgage.

4.     Appraisal and home inspection. As your application is being processed, an appraisal is ordered to identify any discrepancies between the sale price and appraised value. Properties are also inspected for water and termite damage and other safety hazards.

5.     Processor’s and underwriter’s review. A loan processor reviews the entire loan file and sends all pertinent information to an underwriter who makes the final decision to approve the loan.

6.     Final loan approval. If you have a good credit score and debt-to-income ratio, your loan will likely be approved. Keep in mind that there may be financial conditions or property conditions that need to be met before final loan approval.
