The Loan Process – Mortgage Lender Florence Kentucky

We make every effort to complete your loan promptly while maintaining a high level of communication with you throughout the process. As a result, our typical loan time frame is 30 days or less.

The steps to the loan process are as follows:

APPLICATION

We complete your loan application usually via telephone or online and receive your permission to request your credit report from our credit vendor.

REVIEW

We review your application and request income and asset documentation from you so that we can issue you a pre-approval (for a purchase loan) or structure your refinance. We discuss the best program options with you to fit your homeownership goals.

DOCUMENT DISCLOSURE APPOINTMENT

We will explain the loan proposal to you in person or via secure web link and gather pertinent income and credit documentation regarding the loan that we didn’t already gather for the pre-approval.

VERIFICATION

Our processing staff verifies employment, orders existing mortgage payoffs, and title commitments for the property being financed.

APPRAISAL

A licensed real estate appraiser in your state inspects the property being financed to reconfirm the value being estimated is supported. Not every loan program requires an appraisal so this step is not always needed.

SUBMISSION

We submit the complete loan package to our in house underwriting dept. There, the underwriting department will confirm that all the documentation required to approve the loan has been submitted to them.

FINAL APPROVAL AND LOAN CLOSING

Once the underwriter is satisfied that all the stipulations on the loan are met, they issue a final approval and the loan closing is scheduled. An outside third party agent representing the title company, meets all parties involved in the loan transaction, explains the final loan documents and oversees the signing of all documents.

LOAN FUNDING

The funds are dispersed on the loan transaction. With purchases and properties treated as rentals, funding occurs the day of closing. With primary residence refinances, it occurs on the 4th business day after closing.
