The Stages of a Home Loan

For Home Buyers

Navigating the home loan process can seem daunting, but understanding each stage can make it much smoother. At S2 Mortgage, we're here to guide you through every step, ensuring you have the support you need to secure your dream home. Here's a breakdown of the key stages in the home loan process:

Loan Stages

1

Pre-Approval

WHAT IT IS:

Once you decide to buy a new home, before you start looking at properties, you'll need to fill out a loan application with details about your income, assets, and debts.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Getting pre-approved shows you your budget and strengthens your offer on a home, helping to prevent any surprises later on.

2

Find a Home

WHAT IT IS:

Provide your agent with your Pre-Approval letter from S2 Mortgage to elevate your offer.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Choosing the right home sets the stage for your mortgage process and helps us tailor your loan options to match your goals.

3

Underwriting

WHAT IT IS:

During underwriting, the lender will review your application, financial documents, and property details to confirm your loan eligibility.

WHY IT MATTERS:

This stage ensures the information provided is accurate & meets the lending criteria.

4

Loan Approval

WHAT IT IS:

After underwriting, you'll get formal loan approval with the terms and conditions. We'll then finalize the details and prepare for closing.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Loan approval confirms that you are set to proceed with the purchase of your home, pending any final conditions.

5

Closing

WHAT IT IS:

Closing is the final stage where you sign your loan documents and send any additional down payment and closing funds to escrow.

WHY IT MATTERS:

Successful closing means you're officially a homeowner! It's the culmination of all the hard work and preparation you've put in.
