Pre-qualification is the first step of your mortgage experience. Our expert financial advisors will gather information about your monthly income and debt to determine how much of a loan you can afford. This can be done through email, in person, or over the phone with no cost. A pre-qualification letter can be issued so that you may start shopping for a new home; however, it will not be required for refinances.
The application is used to collect your financial information in order to paint a complete picture of your financial standing. At this stage, we may gather essential documents including your income, asset, liability statements, and credit report. Here at Trustworthy Mortgage, we offer a variety of programs tailored to fit your individual needs.
A loan estimate will be issued within 3 days following your completed application. The loan estimate provides you with loan information including the estimated interest rate and closing costs, projected monthly payments, and total due at closing. A mortgage professional will go over the loan estimate in depth so that you fully understand all the loan terms.
All your documents will be packaged and submitted for underwriting. A thorough and detailed job by our experienced processors will ensure that your loan has the highest potential for approval. Once your package is submitted, initial approval of your application will typically take no more than 1-2 days, during which an appraisal, title search, and job verification will be ordered as well. The underwriter may need you to provide additional documents or a letter of explanation to verify your income, assets, and liabilities. After all required documents are fulfilled, a mortgage loan commitment or approval letter will be issued.
