The Mortgage Process
Buying or refinancing a home is about you and your home, not about the mortgage. We've streamlined the process for both into easy steps. Once you have the financing you need you can focus on what really matters: your home.
The Web Mortgage Lending Process
This part is easy. You answer some questions, online. Then, you can decide on the best type of loan for your personal circumstances. We can provide you a variety of loan options based on:
- Your monthly income
- How much you owe
- How much you want to spend on your new house, or if you're refinancing, how much do you still owe
- How much you have to put down
- How long you're planning to stay in your new home
- How much flexibility you have with your monthly payments
You will be able to preview a variety of loan programs and pricing options. For information on total costs, you can use the Estimated Closing Costs tools to view the costs associated with a specific loan program. What if you have questions about our different loan products? Don't worry, we can help through our member support. Just Contact Us.
Once you make your selection, you're ready to apply for that loan.
The Web Mortgage Lending Process
We've pared our loan application down to only the most essential information. Here's what we need to know:
- Borrower Information - The basics about you.
- Property Information - The basics about the property you want to finance.
- Income - What you make.
- Assets - The assets you plan to use for the down payment and closing costs.
- Liabilities - What you owe and to whom. We will run a credit report to confirm liabilities and fill in that section of the application for you. (You'll have a chance to review and make any corrections.)
- Declarations - A few more questions to complete your application.

In many cases, we can give you immediate credit approval of your loan request. This is a true loan commitment, not just a pre-qualification offered by other lenders. It approves a specific loan amount and loan program based on your income and debts. It is, however, legally subject to underwriting the property you are financing and verification of the information you've provided us on your application.

When we process your loan we verify the information you've provided us on your loan application. We will request minimum documentation to verify assets and income. The property will be reviewed by ordering an appraisal, title report, and flood certification on the home. A prepaid processing deposit is required for these services and will be applied toward your closing costs. We also set up escrow for the loan closing and send out applicable disclosures so you have a chance to read through them.

Final loan approval involves the underwriting of the property and loan application information. We will underwrite the information received and give final approval to ready the loan for closing.

With final loan approval, we prepare the loan documents for you to sign and send them to an escrow company for signing. Once we receive the signed documents, we'll transfer the money to the escrow company and they will disburse the loan and record the documents.
