Processing and Underwriting

Our team reviews your file, verifies your information, and prepares your loan for underwriting.

We keep you updated throughout the process and let you know if anything else is needed to keep your loan moving.

Joseph Devito was instrumental in helping us to end up with our Dream home. He helped us first with a re-finance, then with the purchase of two other homes. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to refinance, buy a home, or take out a loan. he was superior from start to finish with the whole process keeping us informed along the way and explaining anything that we did not understand. He made the whole process seem easy and fast.
