Mortgage Loan Checklist | John Polansky

Thank you for the opportunity to be your home lender! To help us better serve you, we are providing the following list which include the typical documentation reviewed by the Lender to complete the mortgage process. After the documentation is reviewed by the Lender, there may be more detailed documentation deemed necessary to complete the mortgage process. By furnishing any and/or all of the documentation, an applicant is in no way obligated to accept the terms and conditions of the mortgage offered, nor does the borrower have to provide these documents to receive a Loan Estimate.
