The Mortgage Process
Step 1: Initial Consultation
We start with a conversation about your goals, timeline, and financial picture to understand which loan options may be a fit.
Understanding the mortgage process can make home financing feel more manageable and less overwhelming. While every situation is unique, most mortgage transactions follow a similar path from planning through closing.
Step 2: Pre-Approval
A pre-approval reviews your financial information and provides a price range to guide your home search. In competitive markets like Los Angeles, this step can help strengthen your offer.
Step 3: Home Search & Offer
Once pre-approved, you can shop for a home and submit an offer. After acceptance, the loan moves into full processing.
Step 4: Loan Application and Processing
Your complete loan application is submitted, documentation is verified, and a property appraisal is ordered to support lender requirements.
Step 5: Underwriting and Approval
The lender reviews all details and may request additional information. Once conditions are satisfied, the loan is approved and prepared for closing.
Step 6: Closing
Final documents are signed, funds are disbursed, and ownership is transferred. Monthly mortgage payments begin according to your loan terms.
