Getting to know the loan process...

Pre-Approval

Let’s start out with a quick chat to discuss your goals. We’ll ask a few questions to get an understanding of your financial situation and ask for some documentation to get the pre-approval prepared.

Find Your House

After you know how much you can afford, the fun begins! Once you've found your the home you want, you're ready to make an offer. Often times, an earnest money deposit(1-2% of purchase price) is required to show that you are seriously interested. Don't worry, this money will be applied to the down-payment later.

Apply for your mortgage

Once the seller accepts your offer, we can get started on your mortgage. This is where we collect all of the documents we'll need and pull your credit. We'll dive into many of the things we discussed on our initial call in more detail, just to make sure that we haven't missed anything that would impact your ability to get the mortgage.

Loan Processing

After we've collected all of the documentation we need, you'll receive a loan estimate to review and sign. Then we'll begin packaging all of your documents for the lender, and submit it for underwriting.

Underwriting

The underwriter works for the lender, and will review each aspect of your application. They will order an appraisal of the property to ensure that the price of the property meets the amount they are lending you. We may wait for approval to lock your interest rate but in most cases, we'll do this before the final approval is given.

Closing

Once your loan has been approved, we can schedule the closing - almost to the finish line! You'll review the final documents, sign, and receive the keys to your new home. You'll have three additional days to review the documents and 24 hours to walk through the property, esuring that the property has been vacated by the sellers and any required fixes have been made.

What are people saying about us?

Doug is a pleasure to work with. As a first time home buyer I was feeling overwhelmed but he was very good at helping me step through the process. He was great at explaining everything to me and he was able to put me at ease through the transaction. I believe he was very diligent in ensuring I got the best rates. I highly recommend him.

My husband and I are both long time Realtors in SW Florida. We have referred Doug to our customers for many years because he is experienced and extremely knowledgeable and honest, always placing the customers best interest first. Doug is 5 STAR all the way!

I can’t express how appreciative I am of Doug and his team. From day one they made you feel like you were working with family. We were on a time crunch and Doug and his team pushed everything through and we were able to close in 3 weeks. Thanks for everything!
