Processing End-To-End
Mortgage loan processing is a tedious task as well as a resource-hungry activity that can consume a lot of valuable time and money. Consider outsourcing your mortgage loan processing and benefit from significant savings in time and cost. Hiring the services of a mortgage loan processor such as Hierotep Solutions is the perfect choice for your complex projects.
Key Processes Involved In Mortgage Loan Processing:
Review Document Compliance
We receive documents and reviewing document compliance is the first stage in processing mortgage loans. For example, Form 1003 is used to record the financial information of potential borrowers when they apply for a conventional mortgage. We review this form and all other documents such as W2s, pay stubs, GFE, TIL, Form 1008, borrower’s authorization etc, to ensure that all the information necessary for processing the application is provided.
Pre-Underwriting & Qualification
The pre-underwriting and qualification section is a crucial step in the process. This section involves a preliminary evaluation of the borrower’s financial status, creditworthiness, and ability to repay the loan. During pre-underwriting, the borrower’s income, employment history, credit score, and debt-to-income ratio are assessed to determine their eligibility for a mortgage. The lender will also review the borrower’s assets, including their savings, investments, and property ownership. This information is used to determine the maximum amount the borrower can afford to borrow and the interest rate they will be offered. Qualification is the next step, where the lender verifies the borrower’s income and employment status, runs a credit check, and checks their debt-to-income ratio. The borrower must provide proof of income, such as pay stubs, and tax returns. The lender will also verify the borrower’s employment status, contacting their employer to confirm their job title, income, and length of employment. The borrower’s credit score and credit history will also be reviewed to determine their creditworthiness.
Credit Check
We conduct a complete credit check of prospective borrowers to ascertain their creditworthiness. This includes pre-screening of credentials, obtaining and checking credit reports, credit history, FHA authorizations, Social Security status and more. We also check for existing loans with MERS, payment defaults, tax returns and transcripts, etc.
Pre-Approval
Pre-approval is an essential step in the mortgage origination process, ensuring that borrowers have a clear understanding of their purchasing power and eligibility for a home loan. It involves a thorough evaluation of the borrower’s financial background, creditworthiness, and ability to repay the loan. By undergoing pre-approval, borrowers can expedite the home buying process and gain a competitive edge in the housing market. Lenders assess various factors such as income, employment history, credit score, and debt-to-income ratio to determine the maximum loan amount and interest rate. This proactive approach not only benefits borrowers by providing them with a realistic budget but also enables lenders to streamline the mortgage processing journey, reducing risks and enhancing efficiency. With pre-approval, both borrowers and lenders can proceed confidently, knowing that they are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of residential mortgage financing
Order Appraisal
We order appraisals by providing the loan application references and details of the property to authorized appraisers. We also check payment receipts for appropriate appraisal fees and check property titles.
Verification
We conduct verification checks against all the information provided by the prospective borrowers. This includes verification of disclosures for accuracy, VOE (Verification Of Employment), VOD (Verification Of Deposit), VOM (Verification Of Mortgage), verification of property sale history, location maps, the appraiser’s signature and license, registration, etc.
Closing
Closing is a critical stage in the US residential mortgage processing, where the buyer and the seller finalize the sale of the property. This stage marks the end of a long and complex process, and it involves a lot of paperwork and legal formalities. During the closing process, the buyer will sign a number of documents, including the mortgage note, the deed of trust, and the settlement statement. The seller will also sign a number of documents, including the deed of the property. One of the most important documents that the buyer will sign during the closing is the mortgage note. This is a legal agreement between the buyer and the lender, which outlines the terms and conditions of the mortgage, such as the interest rate, the loan amount, and the repayment period. Another important document that the buyer will sign during the closing is the settlement statement. This document lists all of the closing costs associated with the sale of the property, including the fees for the mortgage loan, the title search, and the appraisal.
The closing process can be a bit overwhelming for both the buyer and the seller, but it is important to take the time to review all of the documents carefully and ask any questions that may arise. It is also important to work with a qualified and experienced real estate attorney or closing agent who can guide you through the process and ensure that everything is done correctly.
