The Loan Process: an Overview

There can be little question ; getting a mortgage loan is a complex process. You wouldn’t be here on our website if you could complete a simple loan application and receive a great loan funded the same day. We do the heavy lifting for you, so you can concentrate on what’s important — preparing to move into your new home or saving money.

There are four primary steps involved in getting a loan.

Step one: Decide on your maximum loan amount

A couple of factors determine this amount. What kind of monthly payment are you looking for? What is the maximum you can borrow from a lender, given your income and credit history? You can get a good idea of your preferred payment abount using the calculators on our website. And we can guide you to the right loan amount and best program for you when you answer a few quewstions. Because lender guidelines are fairly standard, we can give you a good idea of how much you can borrow after a short conversation.

Step two: complete a pre-qualification

This is where Channel Mortgage LLC will begin to save you money. You will give us info on your employment, assets, and your residence history. You’ll give us information on your employment, asset, and residence history. We will get your credit report and score (with your permission. After we’ve finished reviewing your information, we’ll give you a pre-qualificaiton letter. With this letter, your REALTOR® will negotiate the best deal for your new home. The pre-qual letter gives you buying clout! While you’re deciding on the home that’s right for you, we’re busy researching the loan that’s right for your situation.
