Step 3

Consider your down payment funds.

  • Down payments vary by the type of loan solutions and typically require between 3%-20% of the home price.

  • Some loan solutions, such as FHA, VA and USDA loans, allow to very-low zero down payment.

  • Down Payment Assistance programs can help you access cash for your down payment.

  • We offer support with Down Payment Assistance programs to access cash for your down payment. 

  • We offer programs designed specifically to help first-time homebuyers.

  • Your Loan Partner will help you review the options and access the programs that will best support you.

Step 4

Receive your pre-approval letter with the help of your Loan Partner.

  • Once you complete your application, you will receive a pre-approval letter that shows exactly how much you can afford.

  • You can utilize this letter in making offers to gain a competitive advantage, especially when there are multiple offers.

Step 5

Shop for your dream home, make an offer and get it accepted.

  • Connect with a real estate agent and find a home you love.

  • Your real estate agent will help you make offers and get you under contract for your new home. Having your pre-approval letter can give you a competitive advantage, especially when there are multiple offers.

  • Once you are under contract, your Loan Partner will work in partnership with your real estate agent to ensure that important deadlines are met for an on-time close.

Step 6

Receive your final loan approval.

  • Your Loan Partner will work with you to handle everything that is needed to finalize your loan.

  • You will upload your documents (such as bank statements, pay stubs, etc.) via our mobile App or Web App. Our in-house Processing team will review your documents to ensure that everything that is required has been received.

  • An appraisal of your new home will be ordered to ensure that it meets the fair market qualifications for your loan.

  • Our Underwriting department will review your files to ensure that your documentation meets the requirements to close your home loan. They will identify any contingencies to your loan, such as a request for a recent paystub, and prepare your file for closing. We do everything in-house so there’s no waiting.

Step 7

Pre-closing: Receive your loan approval.

  • You are very close to closing your loan!

  • You will receive your closing disclosures with all your loan details for your review.

  • This gives you an opportunity to review your monthly payment, down payment, interest rate and closing costs.

  • It will also detail your conditions to close, which could include submitting the latest pay stubs, employment verification, confirmation of funds available for closing (your down payment), updated income/asset documentation, a letter of explanation for a recent credit inquiry, a gift letter or clarification of information in your tax return.
