Three kinds of mortgage lenders

Most borrowers end up choosing among three types of lenders. Banks offer mortgages alongside checking, savings and other accounts, and some give relationship perks to existing customers. Credit unions are member-owned, so you join before you borrow, and many keep a share of their loans in-house.

Independent mortgage companies focus on home loans alone. Many offer a wide spread of government and conventional programs and move quickly through the steps. No single type wins for everyone. The right fit depends on your file, the program you need and how you like to communicate.

What a lender does from application to funding

A lender's work starts with your application. A loan officer collects details about your income, assets, debts and the property, then pulls credit with your permission. Within a few business days of a complete application, you receive a Loan Estimate.

Next comes underwriting. An underwriter verifies documents, orders the appraisal and checks title, then may issue conditions you need to clear. Once the loan is approved, you receive a Closing Disclosure at least three business days before closing. At the closing table you sign, and the lender funds the loan so the sale or refinance can be completed.

Comparing lenders serving Highland Springs

The cleanest way to compare lenders is with the Loan Estimate. Every lender uses the same three-page federal form, so you can line up loan terms, projected payments and closing costs on the same day for the same loan type. Look closely at the origination charges in section A and the services you can shop for in section C.

Before you share personal details, confirm the lender and loan officer are licensed. The free NMLS Consumer Access site lets you search by name or NMLS ID and see licensing status and any public regulatory actions.

Questions Highland Springs borrowers ask about mortgage lenders

What happens when the lender funds the loan?

Funding is when the lender sends the loan money, usually by wire, to the closing or settlement agent. On a purchase, those funds go to the seller and pay off the seller's existing loan. On a refinance, they pay off your old mortgage. Funding normally happens at or shortly after signing, depending on the transaction and any required waiting periods.

What is a Loan Estimate?

A Loan Estimate is a standardized three-page form that lenders must provide within three business days of receiving your application. It shows the loan amount, the loan terms, projected payments, estimated closing costs and other key features. Because every lender uses the same form, it is the easiest way to compare offers. Receiving one does not commit you to that lender.

Can I switch lenders after I apply?

Yes, you can choose a different lender before you close, although switching late can delay your timeline because the new lender needs to process and underwrite the file. Some costs already paid, such as an appraisal, may not transfer. If you are buying, check the financing deadlines in your purchase contract before you make a change.

How do I check whether a lender is licensed?

Use NMLS Consumer Access, a free public website run by the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System. Search by company name, individual name or NMLS ID. The results show which states the company or loan officer is licensed in and whether any regulatory actions have been taken. Your state banking or financial services regulator may also offer a license lookup.
