Make no mistake, there's a lot involved in getting a mortgage loan. You wouldn't be here on my website if you could fill out a one-page application and get the best loan for you funded the same day. What I do is most of the heavy lifting for you, so you can concentrate on what's important -- preparing to move into your new home or saving money.
There are four main steps involved in getting a loan. You'll see that I've made your part in them as easy as possible, and I do all the work! That's what I'm here for.
Step one: determine how much you can borrow
This is a function of a couple things. How much of a monthly payment can you afford? And given your unique credit and employment history, income and debt, and goals, how much will MortgageAmerica will loan you? The first part you can get a rough idea of by using the calculators on my website. I'll help you through different scenarios by asking a few simple questions. Based on standard MortgaeAmerica guidelines, I'll get you a good idea of what kind of terms and loan programs you can expect to benefit most from. I will give you as many options I can for you to choose from. Most important thing for you to remember is, you are the one paying for the mortgage so you want what is best for you
Step two: pre-qualify for your loan
This is where the rubber meets the road and you save the most money. You supply information about your employment, your assets, your residence history, and so on. I get your permission to run your credit score. When I review all this information I give you a Pre-Qualification Letter. Handle it with care -- to a home seller, it's like a suitcase full of cash! Your realty agent will use your Pre-Qual (as they may call it) to make the best offer on the home you choose, and the seller knows you're pre-qualified. It gives you buying clout! And while you're picking out the home that's right for you, I'm busy finding the loan that's right for you.
Step three: apply now! We make it easy
Once you've made an offer and it's been accepted, it's time to complete the loan application. It couldn't be easier, and you can do it online, right here at our website. When the time is right, we'll order an appraisal of your new home.
Step four: your loan is funded
Your realty agent and the seller's will work together to designate a Real Estate Attorney or title company to handle the funding of your loan once it's approved. I'll coordinate with the attorney or title company to make sure all the papers MortgageAmerica will need are in order, and you'll sign everything at the Attorney or title company's office.
You've answered a few questions, given me some detailed information, applied online, and next thing you know, you're moving in! We're in the business of mortgage loans -- so we do most of the work. Doesn't that make sense?
