Documents Required To Process Mortgage

Mortgage Documents Required To Process Mortgage Loan By All Borrowers:

• One of the biggest reason for delays in the mortgage process and closing date delays is due to incomplete and/or not legible documents being submitted
• The mortgage process starts once the homebuyer gets the executed real estate purchase contract
• Once the executed home purchase contract is submitted to the lender, a mortgage processor is assigned
• The mortgage processor’s role is to prepare all the documents from the borrower and get the file ready for an underwriter to review and issue a conditional loan approval
• A mortgage underwriter does not have time to look for missing pages and/or try to second guess paperwork that is not legible
• The mortgage underwriter will just kick the whole file back to the processor

The file then goes to the end of the pipeline until the mortgage processor gets to it.

Incomplete And Illegible Documents Are The Main Reason For Delays In The Mortgage Process

This is why the following holds true:

• NO PHONE PICTURES OR PIECEMEAL EMAILS
