Proven process & support to closing & beyond 

STEP 1: PRE-APPROVAL

The first step in the mortgage process is to get preapproved. It is our initial job to gather from you your credit, income, and asset paperwork in order to place you in the best mortgage product.

STEP 1: PRE-APPROVAL

We make sure you will approve for the mortgage you are seeking. We want to make sure your 2 most important questions are answered. How much is buying a home going to cost me? And what price range should I shop to satisfy my budget.

STEP 2: APPLICATION

After you have found the home of your dreams and a seller accepts your offer, it is our job to put together the formal loan paperwork to include all your information provided during the preapproval process along with the specifics of your sales contract.

STEP 2: APPLICATION

One of the more important disclosures you will receive is called a loan estimate which will break out for you as close as we can possibly get to what your mortgage payment and cash to close will be.

STEP 3: PROCESSING

Our highly organized and efficient processors will work with you to prepare your loan to be approved by our underwriting department. They have a tough job with the scrutiny they are under and the paperwork required, but keep in mind their ultimate goal is to make you look as good as possible to our underwriting department.

STEP 3: PROCESSING

Your Loan Processor will help organize the completion of your appraisal and title work as well as make sure your contract dates are reached and you happily close on your home on time.

STEP 4: UNDERWRITING

An underwriter is ultimately the one who approves your loan. They have a lot of boxes to check when it comes your finances and the property itself.

STEP 4: UNDERWRITING

They work quickly and efficiently to approve loans within 24-48 hours to make sure your loan is cleared with ample time to prepare for closing.

STEP 5: CLEAR TO CLOSE

When the underwriter issues to us a clear to close to us, it is time to prepare for closing. Our closing department balances out for you all your final closing details with a title company or attorney’s office.

STEP 5: CLEAR TO CLOSE

You will have the ability to electronically pre-view and sign a majority of your closing paperwork before the actual day of closing. On the day of closing, you will sign the more important forms by hand and then receive the keys to your new home!

Resources To Get You Started

See Your Estimated Payment

Loan Calculator

This is only Principal & Interest Estimate monthly payment ONLY. This payment doesn’t include Taxes or Insurance. Your entire payment will include Principal, Interest, Taxes and Homeowners Insurance and may include Mortgage Insurance (if applicable)

Apply At Your Convinience

Online Application

One of our experienced Loan Originators will evaluate your credit, income, and assets to determine what ranges of home prices you qualify for. Once this process is complete, you will receive a Pre-Approval letter that solidifies you as a strong buyer, to submit with your offers. Sellers are more likely to accept offers from Buyers who provide a pre-approval letter because they know your documents have been reviewed by a lender and it clearly states that you are capable of satisfying all financing aspects of the purchase contract.

IT TAKES A TEAM

It was wonderful working with the whole team. Monica was completely responsive. Every time she said she would send paperwork or information, not only did she send it, it was usually within minutes. There was never a question too silly and she provided excellent advice. On an interpersonal note, Monica was very warm and kind. Super easy to work with, not to mention very approachable and confident.

Things didn ’t workout with my original lender . I was at a loss of hope, because the closing date was fast approaching and I didn ’t have financing . As soon as my realtor referred me to The Mortgage Firm, that day, I was in communication with the team and we got the process started . A few weeks later, I got final approval . I would not have made my closing date without them .
