| Credit Check & Pre-qualification | Trivine Solutions | We pre-approve you using our artificial intelligence software, or underwriting your loan in-house. Our system will assess your credit, income and assets to quickly determine what loan(s) you qualify for. |
| Required Loan Documentation and Paperwork | Applicant / Trivine Solutions | Paperwork is still a big part of the loan process. We will mail you forms to sign and a document checklist. |
| Rate Lock & Appraisal | Applicant / Trivine Solutions | Once we determine your loan amount, type of loan and rate, your loan agent will recommend the appropriate time to lock the rate with a lender. |
| Submit Loan for the Best Rate/Program | Trivine Solutions | Once all of the paperwork is assembled by our processors, your package will be forwarded to underwriting for approval. |

| Clear Loan Conditions | Trivine Solutions | Our closer gets the conditions from underwriting for final preparations to close. |
| Loan Documents Delivered | Trivine Solutions / Lender | Loan documents are prepared and delivered to the escrow agent. The escrow agent will call you to arrange a signing. This is coordinated by your loan originator, your Realtor and the escrow agent. |
| Loan Funding | Escrow / Trivine Solutions /Lender | Once the signed documents are returned, they will be reviewed. The escrow agent will request a wire transfer of the loan funds, close and record the transaction. |
The Loan Application Process
Mortgage home services will verify certain information about you and the property. Borrower information will include verification of income and employment, assets, and your credit history. You, the applicant, as part of your application process, will usually provide some of this information. Other information, such as your credit history, will be obtained directly from the credit bureaus for your safety. For the property, we will order an appraisal and a legal description of the property, such as a title report. We have “approved appraisal companies” so if you have an old appraisal, we may be able to accept that one.
The California Loan Approval Process
During the underwriting process, your credit, assets, income and other information are checked and compiled. Your loan is either approved with conditions, or approved without conditions or declined. Conditions are further documentation or checks we will need to finalize your loan before funds can be dispersed. Some borrowers become frustrated by conditions that surface at the end of a loan transaction and can’t understand why they are being raised so late. Final conditions are sometimes added for final approval. We do our best to help you through the process – remember, we are simply trying to meet conditions imposed by other sources.
Since most loans are sold and serviced by other parties, the lender must verify that the loan can be sold upon close. No other terms of your loan can be changed after you have signed your final loan documents. When all conditions are met, your loan documents are drawn up and forwarded to the place of settlement or closing, typically a title and/or escrow company does this step.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not make any adverse changes to your financial “picture” during the loan process. Things as simple as applying for a new department store credit card to purchase a new appliance will at least force an explanation to be given and at worst may cause your loan not to fund and the approval to be withdrawn. Many times a final credit report update and additional calls to your employer may be required before funding the loan. Be patient and your loan will flow smoothly as we make this process as simple as possible for you as your California home loan approval specialists.
