Mortgage Documents Required To Process Mortgage Loan By All Borrowers:

  • One of the biggest reason for delays in the mortgage process and closing date delays is due to incomplete and/or not legible documents being submitted
  • The mortgage process starts once the homebuyer gets the executed real estate purchase contract
  • Once the executed home purchase contract is submitted to the lender, a mortgage processor is assigned
  • The mortgage processor’s role is to prepare all the documents from the borrower and get the file ready for an underwriter to review and issue a conditional loan approval
  • A mortgage underwriter does not have time to look for missing pages and/or try to second guess paperwork that is not legible
  • The mortgage underwriter will just kick the whole file back to the processor

The file then goes to the end of the pipeline until the mortgage processor gets to it.
