You Are Here → Step 1 – Offer Accepted/Under Contract
1
Offer Accepted / Under Contract
Congratulations. Your offer has been accepted and the home is now officially under contract. The closing process begins.
2
Initial Loan Disclosures
Your loan disclosures are prepared and sent for electronic signature, outlining your loan terms, estimated costs, and important legal disclosures.
3
Processing & File Setup
Your loan file moves to processing, where documentation is organized, information is verified, and the file is prepared for underwriting review.
4
Appraisal & Title Work Ordered
We order the property appraisal and initiate the title search to confirm ownership history and ensure a clear transfer of the property to you.
5
Underwriting Review
Your file undergoes a thorough review by underwriting to confirm that the loan meets all lending guidelines and program requirements.
6
Conditional Approval
Underwriting issues a conditional approval. This means your loan is approved pending a few final documents or updates.
7
Clear Conditions
We collect and submit any remaining documents requested by underwriting to satisfy all outstanding approval conditions.
8
Clear to Close
Your loan receives final approval! Closing documents are prepared and scheduled with the closing attorney or title company.
9
Closing Day
You sign your final documents, the loan funds, and ownership of your new home is officially transferred to you. Welcome home!

Your Lender & Communication
Now that you are under contract, additional members of your lending team will begin working on your loan behind the scenes.
As a mortgage broker, I partner with a lender who will underwrite your loan. You may receive emails from this lender and from my processing team. These emails are important and may look different from my usual communication, so please be sure to check your inbox regularly.
Watch for Important Emails
You will begin receiving time-sensitive emails related to your loan. These may include document requests, disclosures, and important updates. Please review and respond as soon as possible to help keep your loan moving forward without delays.
Your Lender (Underwriting & Loan Documents)
This is the lender that will review and underwrite your loan and assist with preparing your loan documents. You may receive emails from this lender requesting documents, sending disclosures, or providing updates. These emails are part of your loan process and may come from a different email address than mine.
Please check your inbox (and spam folder) for emails from:
UWM | United Wholesale Mortgage
easedocs@easedocs.com will be the email address you will see so make sure to check your spam
Your Loan Processing Team
Your processor works closely with me to organize your file, request documents, and move your loan through underwriting. You may receive emails requesting additional documents or clarification. Prompt responses help keep your loan moving on schedule.
If you ever receive an email and are unsure if it is related to your loan, feel free to reach out to me directly before responding. I am always here to guide you.
What to Expect: Your Contract-to-Close Journey
Damoris and your team are with you every step of the way — from signed contract to closing day. Here's a simplified look at how the process unfolds.
Most loans move from contract to closing in 30–45 days. Damoris makes sure you're never left wondering what comes next.
All approvals are subject to underwriting guidelines. This is not a commitment to make a loan. Not all customers will qualify. Information, rates, and programs are subject to change without prior notice.
