MORTGAGE APPLICATION CHECKLIST

Prior to meeting with your loan officer, gather the following documents to take with you. With the exception of Contract of Sale, which should be an original, all other documents should be copies. Keep all the originals in a folder for easy retrieval. Don't be surprised if sometime during the process you receive a call or a letter asking you to submit a document you have already submitted. Just re-submit as quickly as possible. As soon as you make the decision of where you are applying for a mortgage, give the name & number to your Broker or agent. At Holcberg Ltd. the same associate who sold you your wonderful new home will follow the process to ensure you receive a timely commitment.
