Step 3: Loan Application – Securing Your Financing
Once you’re pre-approved, it’s time to submit your full loan application. During this step, we’ll work with you to gather all the necessary documents and information to get your loan ready for processing. We’re with you every step of the way to make sure things go smoothly.
- Complete the Application: You’ll submit necessary documents such as pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, and more. Don’t worry — we’ll provide a checklist to guide you.
- Choose Your Loan: Based on your financial situation, we’ll help you choose the best loan program that fits your goals (Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, or Non-QM).
- Ask Questions: If anything is unclear during this stage, we’ll be here to answer all your questions and ensure you’re comfortable with the process.

Step 4: Processing – Getting Your Loan Ready
After you’ve submitted your full loan application, our experienced team will review all your documents and begin processing your loan. We’ll verify your financials, order the necessary property appraisals, and ensure everything is in order for a smooth closing.
- Document Verification: We ensure all your financial information is accurate and up to date.
- Appraisal & Inspections: We’ll coordinate property appraisals and inspections as needed to ensure the property meets loan guidelines.
- Clear Communication: We’ll keep you informed at each step, so you’re never left in the dark.
Step 5: Underwriting – Your Loan Gets Approved
Once your loan has been processed, it moves to underwriting. This is the final review stage, where the underwriter will double-check everything to ensure you meet the guidelines for your mortgage.
- Underwriting Review: The underwriter will review your entire application, including your credit, income, and the property’s value.
- Conditional Approval: If everything is in order, you’ll receive conditional approval, and we’ll work quickly to resolve any conditions that may arise.

Step 6: Closing – The Big Day
You’ve made it! At closing, you’ll finalize the details of your mortgage loan and sign all the necessary paperwork. This is where the deal is sealed, and you officially become a homeowner (or investor).
- Final Walkthrough: Before the closing, you’ll have a final walkthrough of the property.
- Review the Closing Disclosure: We’ll explain all the terms and ensure that everything is in order before you sign.
- Sign the Paperwork: Once everything looks good, you’ll sign the final documents, and the loan will be funded.
- Get the Keys: Congratulations! Whether it’s your first home, a new investment, or a new property for your clients, it’s time to celebrate.
