The Loan Process
From Application to Keys
Understanding the mortgage process helps you move with confidence. Here's what to expect from pre-approval to closing day.
Get Pre-Approved
Before you start looking, meet with a Loan Officer to get pre-approved. They'll gather information about income, assets, and debts to determine how much home you may be able to afford. A pre-approval letter also strengthens your offer.
Application & Processing
When you find a property you're ready to buy, your lender helps you complete a full mortgage application and walks you through fees and down payment options. The loan enters processing as your lender verifies everything.
Underwriting
The loan is sent to an underwriter who reviews and approves the entire loan if it meets compliance. Don't be surprised if you're asked for additional documentation — this is completely normal in York County transactions.
Closing
Once your loan is approved, set up homeowners insurance. You'll sign for the new home and pay any remaining costs. Then the loan is recorded and you get the keys to your new Fort Mill, York, or Rock Hill home.
