What can you expect when you apply for a mortgage? 

First, you'll complete our online application!
The application will ask you questions about the home and your finances and takes less than 20 minutes to complete. As soon as you've finished the application we'll review your request for approval.

After completing your application, Denise Ettel will contact you to introduce herself and to answer any questions you may have. She may ask you for additional information that may be required to make a decision about your loan.

If you are purchasing a new home, Denise will also contact the Real Estate Broker or the seller so that they'll know whom to contact with questions.

She'll send you an application package and prepare your loan for closing.

The application package will be sent to you and will contain papers for you to sign and a list of items we'll need to verify the information you provided about your finances during the online application.

She'll order the appraisal from a licensed appraiser who is familiar with home values in your area. Depending on your finances and the loan amount requested, different types of appraisals are used. Sometimes the appraiser will need to view the home. Sometimes they are able to do their evaluation from the street.

Title insurance will be necessary. If you're purchasing a home, we'll work with the real estate broker or seller to ensure the title work is ordered as soon as possible. If you are refinancing we'll provide a list of title insurance agents we work with or you can choose another title insurance company for the closing.

Once you choose a title insurance company, Denise will take care of ordering the title work for you. She'll use the title insurance to confirm the legal status of your property and to prepare the closing documents.
She'll contact you to coordinate your closing date.

After she receives the application package back from you and the appraisal and title work, she'll contact you to schedule your loan closing. If you are purchasing a home, she'll also schedule the closing with the real estate broker and the seller.

The closing will take place at the office of a title company in your area who will act as our agent. A few days before closing, your Denise will contact you to walk through the final information so that there won't be any surprises at closing.

That's all there is to it! You're on your way to the most convenient home loan ever!

Is there a fee charged or any other obligation if I complete the online application?

There's no cost at all for completing our application. After your loan is approved, you can decide whether you wish to pay the appraisal and credit report fee to cover the cost of the appraisal and final credit report so that you can lock in an interest rate and we can begin to process your request.
