Learn the Mortgage Process The Right Way!
At Road to Home Mortgage, we want you to feel confident with our company, but we also understand the importance of realtors understanding the mortgage process. We've broken down some of the main parts of the mortgage process from the pre-qualification letter to a home being recorded. Let us know what you think!
1. The Pre-qualification Letter: This letter shows the listing agents and sellers that a buyer is qualified to buy a house at a certain price with a certain type of loan. We issue pre-qualification letters after talking with a buyer, verifying their credit/assets/job history/income etc.
Below is a breakdown of the pre-qualification letter:
2. The Loan Estimate: When a buyer find a house that they have made an offer on (or have accepted to buy) we send out a Loan Estimate. This is a breakdown of the costs associated with doing a mortgage and shows the interest rate and other important information. THIS IS NOT the final numbers that the buyer will bring to closing. The Loan Estimate is just that... an estimate! It gives the buyers a very good idea of what they will be looking at to close on their home, but some of these number can change throughout the process.
