Step 2: Provide Important Documentation and Order Your Appraisal
Once you have found a home to purchase or made a decision to refinance your existing mortgage, we will begin processing your loan. You will be asked to sign initial loan disclosures and forms. We will also need to obtain various documents to verify the information contained in your application. Please refer to our Application Checklist below for a list of required documents.
Next we will order a property appraisal from a third party appraisal company who will assign a licensed appraiser familiar with home values in your area. Your mortgage loan officer will contact you with details of the costs of the appraisal and obtain your authorization to move forward. Typically, the appraiser will need to view the interior and exterior of the home. For home purchases, the appraiser will contact the realtor to schedule the appraisal. For mortgage refinances, the appraiser will contact you to schedule the appraisal.
Once the appraisal is completed and all of your documents are received, we will begin underwriting your loan. This step typically takes 48 hours for the initial loan conditions and a “conditional approval” to be generated. This you can share with the sellers and realtors to lift financing contingencies. Clearing loan conditions generally takes 10 business days but this can be extended depending on what is required to close the loan. An Advancial Mortgage Processor will contact you to assist with this process and keep you informed of your loan status. Your Advancial Loan Officer will also be available throughout this process should you need additional assistance.
