Submit required documentation such as pay stubs, tax documents, and credit statements. Your loan officer will provide you with a specific list of what is needed.
The underwriter makes sure the deal is rock solid and fits all guidelines. They might ask you for additional documentation. It happens often and doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.
The buyer orders the home inspection as soon as possible. Inspectors often uncover and recommend repairs at the seller’s expense that you may not have noticed.
First, the loan underwriter signs off on the loan. Then, they order loan documents. Once approved, the lender sends the loan paperwork to a title company of your preference.
The lender orders a home appraisal to make sure the home you are buying is in line with your purchase offer. Appraisals must ususually come in close to the loan amount, not lower.
The title company has calculated the costs and credits for all parties. Bring in payment to close the deal and sign all documents. The title is recorded and the keys are yours.
