The Mortgage Loan Process, Step by Step
Every stage of a mortgage from application to closing: what is needed at each point, who is responsible for it and how long each step usually takes.
From application to keys
- Pre-approval — credit, income, and assets reviewed up front
- Application and rate lock once you have a property
- Processing — documents verified, appraisal ordered
- Underwriting — the lender's final review and approval
- Clear to close — final figures, signing, and funding
