Loan Process

1. Preparation and Research

Before you start the mortgage process, it’s a good idea to get organized:

Check your credit score: Lenders use your credit score to assess your reliability as a borrower and determine your interest rate. As mortgage brokers, we can help guide you on how to improve your credit score before applying, if needed.
Save for a down payment: Most mortgage loans require a down payment (typically 3-20% of the home’s purchase price). We’ll help you explore different loan options, some of which might require a smaller down payment.
Understand your budget: Knowing how much you can afford for monthly payments is key. We’ll work with you to help you determine a comfortable loan amount based on your income, debts, and other financial obligations.

2. Get Pre-Approved with Us

This is the first official step in the mortgage process:

Instead of going directly to a single lender, you can come to us as your mortgage broker. We work with multiple lenders to find the best loan options for you.
We’ll guide you in gathering all the necessary information (income, credit score, debts) and then help you submit it to lenders to get a pre-approval letter.
This letter shows how much a lender is willing to loan you and gives you a better idea of your home budget. It’s also useful when negotiating with sellers, as it shows you’re a serious buyer.

3. Find a Home and Make an Offer

Once you have your pre-approval, it’s time to start house hunting:

As your mortgage broker, we’re here to help if you have questions along the way. Once you find a home and make an offer, we’ll continue to support you in the next steps.
If the seller accepts your offer, you’ll be ready to move forward with the mortgage process!

4. Apply for the Loan

Now that you’ve made an offer and it’s accepted, you’ll officially apply for the mortgage:

We’ll walk you through the formal application process and help you submit the necessary paperwork (pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, etc.) to the lender.
As your broker, we’ll communicate with lenders on your behalf to ensure you have a smooth and efficient experience.
During this stage, the lender will arrange for an appraisal to assess the home’s value and conduct a title search to check for any legal issues with the property.

5. Loan Processing and Underwriting

Once your application is submitted, it enters the processing and underwriting stages:

Processing: The lender will verify your financial information, including employment and income.
Underwriting: An underwriter will review your application and determine whether or not you meet the lender’s criteria for the loan.
As your mortgage broker, we’ll stay in contact with the lender, answer any questions, and make sure the process stays on track.
If everything checks out, you’ll be approved for the loan. If additional documentation is needed, we’ll help you gather it quickly.

6. Closing the Deal

Once you’re approved, it’s time for closing:

This is the final step where you’ll sign the loan documents and pay any applicable closing costs (these can include lender fees, title insurance, appraisal fees, etc.).
At closing, we’ll ensure all the paperwork is in order and make the process as smooth as possible for you.
Once you’ve signed the documents and paid your closing costs, you officially become the owner of your new home!

7. Start Making Payments

Now that you’re a homeowner, it’s time to start making monthly payments:

Your mortgage payments will typically cover the principal (the money you borrowed), interest (the lender’s fee for lending you the money), and, in some cases, property taxes and homeowners’ insurance (if they’re included in your loan).
As your mortgage broker, we’ll continue to support you throughout your homeownership journey, helping you explore refinancing options, answer questions, or assist if you need to make any adjustments to your loan down the road.
