From application to closing, we're with you every step of the way.

Employment Verifications. Credit Reports. Underwriting. Many homebuyers wonder where the loan process begins – and where it ends. But, the mortgage process doesn’t have to be difficult. You will be amazed at how quickly and simply the loan process moves. Below is a summary of our loan process so that you will have a better understanding of what you can expect.

 

STEP 1: GET PRE-QUALIFIED 

Once you contact us or submit a loan application, we pull your credit score and run it through the right program for your home buying or refinancing needs. If you pre-qualify, we will supply you with a pre-qualification letter you can use to make a solid offer on your chosen property. 

 

STEP 2:  INITIAL MORTGAGE MEETING

After you have found a property, you will meet with your personal mortgage consultant to determine the right loan option for your needs. They will also help you to complete your mortgage application. Depending on your situation, your rate may be locked at this time. 

 

STEP 3: PROCESSING & UNDERWRITING

After approval has been granted, we gather your paycheck stubs, W-2 forms, tax returns, bank statements, IDs and other relevant information and submit it to our underwriter for assessment. We review all documentation and provide a loan package for the loan underwriter. An underwriter determines whether the information provided is acceptable to offer the applicant a loan. If more information is needed, we will contact you to supply it.

 

During this period, title insurance is ordered, all approval contingencies are satisfied, and a closing date is scheduled with your real estate agent and credit union (if applicable) for the loan.

 

STEP 4: CLEAR TO CLOSE

You're almost there! After the underwriter has cleared all conditions of the loan, you will receive a clear to close. During this time, you will contact your insurance agent to secure homeowners insurance. Also, Park Mortgage will let you know the exact amount of funds you will need to bring to closing.  

 

STEP 5: CLOSING

At the closing, the lender "funds" the loan with a cashier's check, draft or wire to the selling party in exchange for the title to the property. This is the point at which the borrower has completed the loan process and the transaction is "closed."

 

The mortgage process for home buyers typically takes 30-45 days, while the refinancing process can be completed in a month.
