When Mortgage Loan Approvals Start Smelling Fishy
When Mortgage Loan Approvals Start Smelling Fishy -- Angela from Middletown, NY asks Kate why no one is contacting her about closing her mortgage: Kate, We have a date for closing in 3 days. Our appraisal is good. The mortgage processor requested updated pay stubs to verify my employment again. I have my loan approval commitment and house insurance.
But we have not heard anything from the processor or the mortgage broker since forwarding the updated documentation. What does this mean?
Ask Kate answers: Hi Angela, When communication slows down during the mortgage approval process, it could indicate several things. Occasionally it means your mortgage lender is relunctant to face a problem that has just surfaced.
Or it could just be that the lending office is super busy. Either way, you need to be the squeaky wheel that gets the grease because this is how you'll get your mortgage closed. Please go to Cure Mortgage Approval Hiccups to better understand what your lender may be telling you . Then go to 10 Best Secrets to Low Mortgage Payments for more help understanding the mortgage process!
Best wishes, Kate
