Loan Process

Learn the basic loan process

Purchase a home or to Refinance:

Applying for a mortgage loan is merely a process to collect appropriate information regarding your income and credit history, however, it is the most essential step towards owing or refinancing a home. Don't hesitate in applying for a loan, there is no obligation. Starting with the information you provide us, we will work to obtain approval for a loan that meets your purchase or refinance needs.

Credit Report:

A lender is not in a position to quote an interest rate or a loan program without knowing your credit score and your liabilities. Perfect credit, not so perfect credit, or even bad credit doesn't imply that you are automatically approved or can not be approved for a loan.


Pre-qualified:

First and foremost it puts you in a position as a homebuyer to know exactly how much you can afford. In addition, as a pre-qualified buyer you have a stronger standing than a buyer who is not pre-qualified. It will also help to close the loan quickly
