Every mortgage begins with a conversation.

We'll take the time to learn about your goals, answer your questions, and discuss your financial situation. During this consultation, we'll review:

• Your homeownership goals

• Estimated purchase price

• Income and employment

• Assets and savings

• Credit profile

• Existing debts

• Loan program options

By understanding your unique situation, we can recommend the mortgage solution that best fits your needs.

A mortgage pre-approval gives you confidence while shopping for a home and shows sellers you're a serious buyer.

During the pre-approval process, we'll review documentation such as:

• Recent pay stubs

• W-2s or tax returns (if applicable)

• Bank statements

• Identification

• Employment information

Once reviewed, we'll issue a pre-approval letter outlining the loan amount you qualify for.

Benefits of getting pre-approved include:

• Shop with confidence

• Know your budget

• Strengthen your purchase offer

• Identify any issues before making an offer

Once you're pre-approved, it's time to start house hunting.

If you already have a real estate agent, we'll work closely with them throughout the transaction. If you don't have one yet, we're happy to connect you with experienced, trusted real estate professionals throughout Colorado.

As you view homes, we're available to answer financing questions, estimate monthly payments, and explain how different purchase prices affect your mortgage.

When you find the right home, your real estate agent will help you submit an offer.

Once your offer is accepted, we'll receive the executed purchase contract and begin preparing your loan for processing.

At this stage, we'll also:

• Lock your interest rate (when appropriate)

• Finalize your loan program

• Review closing costs

• Discuss your estimated monthly payment

After your contract is accepted, your mortgage enters the processing stage.

Your loan processor will:

• Verify employment

• Verify income

• Verify assets

• Order title work

• Review homeowner's insurance

• Ensure all required documentation has been received

Sometimes additional documentation is requested during this stage. This is completely normal and helps ensure your loan meets lending guidelines.

Your lender will order an independent appraisal to determine the property's market value.

The appraisal helps confirm that the home's value supports the loan amount and protects both you and the lender.

If any issues arise, we'll discuss your options and guide you through the next steps.

Underwriting is where your loan receives its final review.

An underwriter carefully evaluates:

• Income

• Employment

• Assets

• Credit

• Property information

• Appraisal

• Title work

• Loan eligibility

The underwriter may request a few additional documents or explanations before issuing final approval. These requests are common and simply help satisfy lending requirements.

Once all underwriting conditions have been satisfied, your loan receives final approval.

At this point:

• Loan documents are prepared

• Closing is scheduled

• Final numbers are confirmed

• Closing Disclosure is delivered

You'll have the opportunity to review all loan terms and closing costs before signing.

Congratulations—it's closing day!

You'll meet with the title company to sign your loan documents.

You'll review and sign:

• Mortgage documents

• Closing disclosures

• Title paperwork

• Final settlement documents

Once everything has been signed and the loan funds, ownership is officially transferred.
