The Mortgage Process
Purchasing a home is one of the most important events that you and your family will experience. It can be very exciting but, sometimes a bit stressful. InTouch Realty Services is here to help; our goal is to provide you with the most exceptional service while reducing stress.
Step 1: Getting Pre-Approved
Getting pre-approved is an important step in the Mortgage Process. Without a proper pre-approval, you won’t know what you qualify for; this could lead to unnecessary frustration down the line.
Step 2: Find a Realtor
Finding a reputable realtor in the area when purchasing a home is key to getting an accepted offer in this market. A good realtor will understand the market and your needs. InTouch Realty Services can help you find and manage the home buying process in tandem with our Home Loan Team.
Step 3: You Found a Home and Made an Offer – It’s Accepted.
Following These Simple Steps Will Keep You Informed And Moving Along In The Right Direction.
Ordering a Home Inspection
- Your realtor will help you schedule an inspection on the property with
a certified inspector - We recommend that all borrowers obtain a Home Inspection
- The Home Inspection will identify whether or not your new home has major issues or repairs that may have overlooked; for example, roof, furnace, structural, plumbing, and any other major elements of your home.
Step 4: Application, Knowing Your Options and Gathering Documents
Average Turn Time Is 3-7 Days, Depending On How Quickly You Respond
- After your offer has been accepted you will work closely with your Loan Officer
on Mortgage Financing. - Based on your credit profile, income, and assets your Loan Officer will discuss potential Interest rates, programs, and terms that best fit your individual financial situation.
- Your Loan Officer will review your personal document and may request updated information for anything that has expired.
Below is a starter list of documents that must be submitted to your Loan Officer as soon as your offer is accepted:
- 2 Years Personal Tax Returns
- Must be signed on Page 2 of the returns
- Must include ALL pages and Schedules
- 2 years W2’s and full 2-year employment/ work history
- Must include all W2’s from all employers
- 2 months’ worth of bank statements
- Must include ALL pages even if the last page is blank.
- The total available balance on your liquid assets (check-ing or Savings) must be at least the amount your Loan Officer has informed you that you will need for closing.
- This includes the amount required for your down payment, closing costs, pre-paids, taxes, and insurance
- Cash Deposits are NEVER acceptable; cash deposits can never be used for closing and/or down payment.
- All large deposits must be documented and sourced outside of your regular deposited payroll checks.
- If you are applying for an FHA Insured Mortgage, a large deposit would be any single deposit, that is not payroll, which is 1 % or greater than the appraised value.
- If you are applying for a Conventional Mortgage, a large deposit would be any single deposit, that is not payroll, which exceeds 50% of the total qualifying monthly income.
