Step Two: Qualifying

The next step is getting you qualified for the loan. This involves packaging up your information and sending it to a chosen lender for approval. The way this information is presented will often determine whether or not you are approved and at what interest rate. It is our job to sell you to the lender and make sure you get the best possible rate and terms.

We send our information electronically directly to an underwriter and will usually get an answer back in 48 hours or less. Some lenders provide quicker approvals but with a large financial decision like this we would rather take a little extra time to ensure that you are getting the right mortgage for you. If we do not get the desired results, then we negotiate on your behalf until we are satisfied we have the best terms. We will often negotiate with several different lenders on your behalf in order to maximize the discount offered on your interest rate.

Step Three: Approval

Once approved, we will contact you and go over the details of your approvals. At this point nothing is carved in stone, so we still have the ability to change the rate and term, payment amount or frequency, amortization, etc. Once you are satisfied with the terms of the approval we will issue you a letter of commitment. This will allow us to hold the interest rate at which you were approved for up to four months.

If nothing else, getting an approval will give you some peace of mind and let you know that you have your financing in order. If interest rates go up, no problem, your rate is safe. If interest rates come down, you will automatically be re-approved at the new lower rate!

Step Four: Verification

Your approval will be subject to verifying certain information. This will include verifying your income with a job letter and recent pay slip, or showing a bank statement to prove you have enough savings for your down payment. We will provide you with a straightforward list stating exactly what is needed to satisfy all the conditions of your approval.

If your loan is high-ratio (less than 20% down-payment) then at this stage we will also get you approved with CMHC or GE Capital. These are companies who provide insurance to the lender against loss. Almost all lenders require a certificate of approval from one of these two companies before they will finalize your loan.

Step Five: Purchase

If the financing is for the purchase of a new property and you have not already made an offer on a house, then now is the time to start shopping around. Once you have found the house of your dreams you will need to submit an offer to purchase. When the offer has been accepted and signed, we will get a copy from your Realtor and finalize the exact details of your loan down to the penny.

We will work directly with your Real Estate Agent to make sure the process goes smoothly. If you do not have a Realtor, contact us and we can refer you to one of the best in the business in your area.

Step Six: Closing

The only thing left to do is to register the transaction legally. This will require a lawyer or notary. If you have a lawyer you know and trust, let us know. If not, we will be glad to refer you to one.

We will forward all the documentation directly to your lawyer and arrange for a meeting. You will make one final visit to the lawyer to confirm all the details are correct and provide a legal signature. The lawyer will receive the funds from your lender and disburse them to the seller or builder of your new home.

It is just that simple and your financing is complete!
