How does the mortgage process work?

Thank you for using our 425.com mortgage website. You have requested information on "How does the Mortgage process work?" The mortgage process works basically as follows: You speak to a loan officer or mortgage broker and get pre-qualified (figure out how much you can afford). Fill out the loan application with the help of your loan representative, put together documentation on all your finances, and write any necessary letters that might be needed. Additional documentation is requested by the mortgage company such as verifications of employment and deposit, appraisal, title, credit reports, and anything else required depending on the details of your transaction. When all of the information is collected it is put together in a submission package and sent to underwriting. The underwriter reviews the loan and depending on the strength of the loan and the packaging either approves it or denies it. If it is approved any conditions from the underwriter are cleared and the closing ...  more

back to list of questions | previous question | next question Once you have a fully signed (ratified) purchase contract, the mortgage process generally proceeds in this order: application, processing, underwriting, commitment, and settlement (closing). At some point before making application, a loan officer qualifies you to determine the amount of housing payment you can comfortably afford by asking you questions about the transaction and your income, assets, and debts. An aside, I recommend that you take qualification one step further and actually get pre-approved before you step foot inside a home you think you might like to purchase. (See "Why should I bother getting pre-approved before I find the house I want?" to learn about this strategic consideration in the home-buying process.) Once you have made application, the loan officer downloads your credit scores, inputs your application information into the system and runs your file through automated underwriting. The credit scores ...

The average mortgage process works as follows: You complete the loan application, compile all required documentation on all your finances, and write any necessary letters that might be needed. Additional documentation is requested by the mortgage company, such as verifications of employment and deposit, appraisal, title, credit reports, and anything else required depending on the details of your transaction. Once all required information is received, it is put together in a submission package and sent to your lending company's underwriting department. The underwriter reviews the loan and depending on the strength of the loan and the submission package, either approves your loan or denies it. If it is approved any conditions from the underwriter are cleared and the closing documents are ordered. Credit denial is rare at this stage, as the strength of your mortgage package is determined during pre-qualification. That is why it is imperative that you not change your employment, credit ...  more

How your mortgage applications makes it's way from application to closing is a tale of a team of people working together to make your home purchase possible. It starts with your Loan Officer who will meet with you and help you to determine the best financing options for your particular situation. He then hands your file off to the Processor who enters your file into the computer and uploads it to one of the automated underwriting programs that gives an initial underewriting determination. Using this determination as a guild, the processor then proceeds to gather the documentation required. In doing so he or she will pull a credit report on you, order an appraisal of the property, verify your employment and assets, follow up with and coordinate with the title company, package your loan for underwriting, submit your file to the underwriter, interact with the underwriter, resolve any loan conditions and communicate with you, the loan officer, as well as all the other parties involved in ...
