Once your loan application has been received we will start the loan approval process immediately. This involves verifying your:

• Credit history
• Employment history
• Assets including your bank accounts, stocks, mutual fund and retirement accounts
• Property value

Based on your specific situation, additional documents or verifications may be required. To improve your chances of getting a loan approval:

• Fill out the loan application completely.
• Respond promptly to any requests for additional documents. This is especially critical if your rate is locked or if you plan to close by a certain date.
• Do not make any major purchases. Do not buy a car, furniture or another house until your loan is closed. Anything that causes your debts to increase might have an adverse affect on your current application.
• Do not move money into your bank accounts unless it can be traced. If you are receiving money from friends, family or other relatives, please contact us.
• Do not go out of town around the closing date. If you do plan to be out of town when your loan is expected to close, you may sign a power of attorney to authorize another individual to sign on your behalf.
