Step 2: Find a home, make an offer

Once you’ve found a home that you want to purchase, you and your real estate professional will work together to submit an offer. When the seller accepts your offer, you’re ready to move forward! You will need to provide your Mortgage Loan Officer a signed copy of your purchase agreement.

Step 3: Provide a purchase agreement

Upon receiving a copy of your purchase agreement, we will provide you with loan disclosures, verify your documentation, order your home appraisal, and lock in your interest rate. During this time, you will need to obtain homeowner’s insurance, provide us with any final documentation we need, and prepare for your move.

Step 4: Review documents, have questions answered

Once we approve your loan, we will provide you with a copy of all your loan documents so you can review them at your own pace and have your questions prepared. You will sign your loan documents at a title company and pay any remaining costs. You’ll also receive the keys to your new home!
