Now that you've chosen a loan... what's next? Our video provides a quick overview of the final steps to closing your loan. If you have any questions, please contact LendingTree at 1-800-555-TREE.
  • Loan Processor
    Make sure that your loan processor has the documentation they need. This usually includes:
    - Employment verification (W2 forms and pay stubs)
    - Recent bank statements
    - Federal tax returns
    - Current debt statements

    In general, your loan processor will schedule a home appraisal and coordinate your title insurance.

  • Homeowner’s Insurance
    It is your responsibility to secure homeowner’s insurance and give your policy information to your loan processor.

  • Home Inspection
    Most lenders don’t require full home inspections, but an inspection can provide you with valuable
    information, prior to closing.
  • Settlement Statement
    Confirm your closing date with the lender, and request your Settlement Statement two or three days in advance. This document details the final costs involved and exact amount of cash you’ll need at closing. Review it carefully, and ask the lender about any unfamiliar costs.

  • Closing Date
    Once you’ve reviewed your settlement statement, prepare to transfer or request a certified check for the final closing amount.
