What to expect on your mortgage journey

Step 1
Get pre-qualified.
  • Chat with one of our local mortgage loan officers about your goals, timelines, finances, and different mortgage options.
  • From there, our mortgage loan officers can help you get pre-qualified to show sellers and REALTORS® that you’re ready to buy. Plus, by obtaining your pre-qualification, you’ll be able to see what you can realistically afford.
  • Your pre-qualification is valid for 90 days.

Step 2
Start shopping, find the right home, and apply!
  • If you haven’t already, contact a REALTOR® to help you find your right home. Consider a REALTOR® from Joyner Fine Properties to unlock potential savings at closing with our Welcome Home Discount.
  • Shop with less pressure with our Lock & Shop program and lock in your interest rate for up to 360 days.
  • Once you find the right home, make an offer!
  • Once your offer has been accepted, you’ll need to complete the required inspections and appraisal, something your REALTOR® will help set up.
Step 3
Final touches.
  • Together with your REALTOR® and mortgage team, you’ll put the final touches on your mortgage. Consider locking in your rate at this point, protecting yourself from changes in interest rates.
  • Next, you’ll sign disclosures, which will give you a ballpark estimate of your closing costs.
  • You’ll also need to obtain homeowner’s insurance. Consider Virginia CU Insurance Services.
  • While the loan processor is putting the final touches on your documents, they might reach out with questions or requests for additional documentation.
Step 4
Get your keys!
  • Once final approval for your home loan is issued, your mortgage will be prepared for closing by our team.
  • Together with your REALTOR®, you’ll do a final inspection and walkthrough.
  • Before getting the keys, you’ll work with a closing attorney to sign and finalize the closing documents and provide funds for closing.
  • Virginia Statewide Title Services can help you find a closing attorney and title insurance, if needed.
