The mortgage process runs in a set order. Here is what each stage looks like and what Christina needs from you at each point.
A conversation about the property you have in mind, your timeline, and the budget you are comfortable with. No application required to start.
You submit income, asset, and credit documentation. Christina reviews it against loan guidelines and issues a pre-approval you can shop with.
Once your offer is accepted, the file moves into processing and underwriting. Appraisal, title, and insurance are ordered and tracked.
Final approval, closing disclosure, and signing. Christina stays available afterwards for refinancing questions and future purchases.
Principal and interest is only part of what you pay each month. Adjust the figures below to see taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and mortgage insurance included in the total.
Loan amount $0 over 30 years
Estimates only. Actual rates, taxes, insurance, and mortgage insurance vary by property, credit profile, and loan program. Contact Christina for figures specific to your situation.
