We have simplified the home loan application process — here’s the whole path.
All you have to do is submit a request and the total process takes about 15 minutes. Once you have applied, you can expect a response back within hours.
Prefer to apply by phone? We recommend submitting an online request so that you are routed to the correct branch for your location. If you would like to call, you may do so at 1-800-FAST-CLOSE.
If your application is approved, you’ll receive an approval that outlines the conditional requirements: income documentation, tax returns, an appraisal, and depending on your application, there may be other requirements.
Send the required documentation as fast as you are able and your underwriter will review immediately. Assuming what is sent is satisfactory, your loan conditions will be cleared.
Once all your loan conditions have been reviewed and approved, we schedule a closing. If you are in a hurry, we plan accordingly and have the title company on notice to prepare your loan documents right away once you are “clear to close”.
