The Four Steps of the Mortgage Loan Process:The Loan Mortgage Process: Four Steps

Make no mistake, there's quite a lot involved when you get a mortgage loan. You would not be looking up loan information if it were possible to get a mortgage loan in one day by filling out a simple application. We do the heavy lifting for you, so you can concentrate on what's important — preparing to move into your new home or saving money.

There are four primary steps involved in getting a mortgage loan.

Step one: determine how much you can borrow

This is a function of a couple things. How much of a monthly payment can you afford? And given your unique credit and employment history, income and debt, and goals, how much will a lender loan you? Use the calculators on our website to determine your monthly payment amount. We'll also help you through different scenarios by asking a few simple questions. Because lender guidelines are fairly standard, we can give you a good idea of how much you can borrow after a short conversation.

Step two: complete a pre-qualification

This is where 1st Credential Mortgage Inc can start to save you money. You will provide info about your employment, assets, and residence history. You'll supply your employment, asset, and residence history information. We run your credit score and report. After we have reviewed this information we give you a pre-qualification letter. Handle it with care — it is a useful tool when you make your offer! Your agent will use your pre-qual (as they may call it) to make the best offer on the home you choose. While you're shopping for your new house with your real estate agent, we find the best program for you.

Step three: apply for your loan

Once you have made an offer and the sellers have accepted, it's time to apply for the loan. It couldn't be easier, and you can do it online, right here on our website. Finally, we'll order an appraisal of your new home.

Step four: your loan is funded

The agents will find an escrow/title company to handle the "funding" and closing. We'll work with this company to ensure all the papers your lender requires are avaiailable, and you'll probably}likely sign all these papers at this company's officeWe work with with the title company on your date of closing. Because you don't have to coordinate this process, you get to think about moving logistics, if you're going to repaint, carpet, and the fun parts of moving into a new house.
