Once your offer has been accepted we open the escrow account so that you can pay the initial deposit.

If your are obtaining a loan for the purchase of the property your loan officer will now gather any remaining documents needed from you to submit your loan file to the banks underwriter for review. The appraisal for the property is also ordered at this time if it is a requirement of the loan.

STEP 7 - LOAN APPROVAL

Once the appraisal is complete and your documents are reviewed by the underwriter your loan moves to a conditional approval status. We may ask you to satisfy those last conditions and discuss rate options if you are ready to lock the rate on your loan.
