The Borrowing Process
 
STEP ONE: Choose a loan that's right for you .
 

Prospect Financial Services offers many home loan options. We will work with you to determine the very best option for your particular situation. There are four categories for loans and any one may suit your needs!

  • Purchase
  • Refinance
  • Debt Consolidation
  • Home Equity
STEP TWO: Apply for a loan
  Depending on the loan you choose, you may complete an application online, over the phone or by making an appointment with one of our Mortgage Consultants.
   
STEP THREE: Let us begin your loan processing.
 

To process a loan, we go through a series of steps. Being familiar with the process will help better understand what happens on our side of the table. After we receive your application, we will:

Review your application to make sure the information is complete and consistent.

  1. Verify the information you provided and confirm that all necessary documents are included.
  2. Evaluate your loan information in a process known as underwriting. Underwriting is a major step in the approval process because it evaluates your ability to comfortably make your loan payments.
  3. Order and review an appraisal of the home you are buying or refinancing. The appraisal confirms whether the property's value is in line with the purchase price and loan amount.

Throughout loan processing, Prospect Financial staff will provide you with important information about your loan and purchase transaction.

STEP FOUR: It's time to close!
 

The actual closing process varies from place to place, but usually includes the following steps:

A closing agent (such as an attorney) reviews the settlement sheet with you. This document includes all the final costs for the purchase transaction or refinance loan. You then sign loan documents such as the mortgage, note and Truth-In-Lending Disclosure. For a purchase loan, you provide a certified check or cashier's check to the closing agent to cover the down payment and closing costs. If you're refinancing, your closing costs may be paid from cash out of your new loan.

For a purchase loan, the lender gives a check for the loan amount to the bank's attorney. For a refinance loan, the agent receives a check for the balance of your old loan. The "cash out" from a refinance may be paid directly to creditors by the attorney, or you may be able to receive a check for this money.

If the monthly payments will include amounts paid toward the payment of property taxes and insurance, the escrow account is set up.

You receive the keys to your new home, along with copies of all the closing documents.
