2. Underwriting - Your loan package is submitted to the underwriter for approval. This occurs between days 21 or 30.

3. Loan Approval - Once approved you will receive a formal authorization to get the loan from the bank. All parties are notified of approval and the loan documents are completed and sent to the title company.

4. Title Company - A title company becomes involved by examining and insuring title claims for real estate, on behalf of its customers.  A title exam, insurance, and title survey will be conducted. And you (the borrower) come into the loan company for final signatures (or at settlement).

5. Funding occurs when the lender reviews the loan package and funds are transferred
