Buying your first home is very exciting! Lift Home Lending loan specialists are here to guide you through every step of the loan process.
Before finding your new home, we can help you get pre-approved for free. We can also match you with a trusted real estate agent through our partner networks. Our variety of loan options allow you to buy your first home with little or no money down, and we will work to ensure the loan meets your unique needs.
As a first-time homebuyer, it’s important to understand the mortgage process.
The mortgage process:
- Application – Complete your application and submit your requested financial documents.
- Pre-approval – Your loan officer will issue a pre-approval letter. It is good for 90 days.
- House Hunt – Find a property, negotiate with the seller, and get it under contract. Provide earnest money to hold the home.
- Processing – Sign your initial disclosures. Your loan will be prepared for underwriting. All information and documentation will be verified.
- Appraisal – Your lender will order an appraisal. An independent appraiser will assign a value to the property.
- Underwriting – Your loan will be formally underwritten for approval.
- Conditions – You and your loan team will work together to satisfy all conditions requested by the underwriter.
- Clear-to-close – All loan conditions will be cleared by the underwriter and final loan docs prepared.
- Closing – Wire your cash-to-close to the title company and go to the title company to sign your final docs.
As a first-time homebuyer, you may have a lot of questions. Our loan specialists are always available to provide you with personalized attention and guide you successfully through the mortgage process.
