When you're pre-qualified and have selected the best mortgage, you are simply a more qualified and more knowledgeable house hunter. You know your price range and you know what you can afford-and so does your real estate agent, who can facilitate home viewing based on your criteria. Once you've found that perfect home, the process typically goes like this:
You should have your home-to-be inspected by a professional inspector who can identify any problems that need attention. He or she will look at everything from structural issues to maintenance issues to appliances included in the sale. If any problems were found, you and the seller could negotiate fixes (either in repairs or perhaps reduced sale price) before the close of the escrow.
At this stage we will begin processing your loan and have an appraisal done. An appraisal is necessary and ensures that the home's value is worth the sales price.
We submit your application for formal approval by our underwriting department. Next, you sign your mortgage papers. After a final review and approval of all documents, we disperse funds to the seller, (these are normally received in three days or less). The only item left is to extend congratulations to you on officially becoming a homeowner.
