Home loan (The Mortgage Journey)

Step 01
Preapproval
The first step in the mortgage process is to get pre-approved for a loan. This involves providing your loan officer with financial information, such as your income and credit score, to determine what purchase price you qualify for, your interest rate, and your estimated monthly payment.
Step 02
House Hunting
Once you have been pre-approved, you can reach out to your Real Estate Agent, and start house hunting! This is the fun part where you get to tour homes and decide which one is right for you.
Step 03
Offer & Contract
When you find a home you want to buy, your agent can help you submit an offer to the seller. If your offer is accepted, your agent will contact you with the good news and shortly after, open escrow!
Step 04
Loan Application
After you have signed the contract, you'll need to complete a full loan application with your lender. This involves providing more detailed financial information and documentation.
Step 05
Loan Processing
Once your loan application is submitted, your loan officer will begin the loan processing phase. This involves verifying your financial information, ordering an appraisal of the property, and reviewing other required documents.
Step 06
Underwriting
During the underwriting phase, the lender will review your application and all supporting documentation to determine if you qualify for the loan. At this point, your loan will be conditionally approved and your loan officer will assist you in clearing all conditions before your loan can be finalized.
Step 07
Clear to Close
After all conditions are cleared, your loan is fully approved and "Clear to Close" by your lender. This means that all of the requirements for your loan have been met and the lender is ready to fund your loan.
Step 08
The Closing
The final step in the mortgage process is the closing. This is where you'll sign all the final lender loan documents with a notary to officially purchase the home. You will need to wire your remaining down payment and closing costs funds to the escrow company.
Step 09
Move In
Congratulations, you've officially purchased your new home! You can now move in and start enjoying your new space. Make sure to obtain all utility information from your real estate agent, to switch all accounts under your name, and have your utilities set up right away.
Step 10
