Guest blog post by Josh Flores, Senior Loan Officer with Supreme Lending.
Today I’d like to share a brief overview of the home loan process.
Step 1 – Loan application
Loan officer meets with clients face to face, or through email or fax. Customize loan products to meet individual needs. Maintain communication throughout the loan process to closing.
Step 2 – Loan Set Up
A. Order residential appraisal and credit report.
B. Send required disclosures to client.
C. Send verification to applicable entities.
Step 3 – Loan Processing
The processor is your contact during all processing and compiling of information for loan submission. Email all information for loan processing to your processor.
Step 4 – Underwriting
Evaluation of credit and property in determining adherence to agency guidelines. This results in a status of approved, suspended, approved conditionally or rejected.
Step 5 – Closing
A. Lender sends prepared docs to the title company.
B. Title company prepares the settlement statement, then provides final closing figures.
C. Loan Officer will then call borrower with final figures.
