Processing and Underwriting

Our team reviews your file, verifies your information, and prepares your loan for underwriting. Underwriting is the step where a loan expert reviews your financial details to make sure everything meets the guidelines for your loan. We keep you updated throughout the process and let you know if anything else is needed to keep your loan moving.

I was kept informed along the way and even when things didn't go exactly right, Jesse or Christa stepped in and made things go smoothly. I was so appreciative of the Novus app that was extremely easy to download and use throughout the entire loan process. It made it so much easier to get all my information needed to the team. Jesse and Christa also emailed me when needed and answered my emails to them in a timely manner even if it was not within the business day. They got it done for me!
