Loan Checklist

Be Prepared for Your Loan Application

Providing these necessary documents will make the process easier and faster.

We want the mortgage application process to be as easy as possible for you. We’ve created a handy checklist to help you prepare for your application. Be mindful that all documents you submit must be the most recent. These requirements are very specific.

 

You can electronically provide the documentation to your loan officer. Keep in mind that this is a list of documents typically required when applying for a mortgage loan. As your loan officer receives your documentation, additional items may be required.

 

You can download and print the checklist here.
