Purchasing a home is one of the largest financial decisions you’ll make, and our Mortgage Loan Officers are here to help you along every step of the way. Below is a high-level overview of the process:

Step 1: Get Pre-Approved

• Submit your home loan application online or in a branch.
• Rivermark may request supporting documentation.
• Your Mortgage Loan Officer will contact you with the amount for which you’ve been pre-approved.

Step 2: Shop for Your Home

• You can shop with confidence knowing you’ve been pre-approved for a price range that is right for you.
• When you find the right home and have negotiated the sales price, you send the signed agreement to your Mortgage Loan Officer to start the process.
• You can lock in your interest rate now that you know the loan amount, term, and date of closing.
• The loan documentation and authorizations are completed, and your Mortgage Loan Officer will order the appraisal.
• Appraisals may take 2-3 weeks to be completed. While you wait, your loan application is submitted to underwriting.

Step 3: Final Approval and Closing

• Once the appraisal is completed, your loan is ready for final approval by Rivermark.
• A copy of the appraisal will be sent to you via email or mail.
• Rivermark will send out the final Closing Disclosure for you to review.
• The closing documents are then sent to the Escrow officer to arrange the appointment.
• On the date of your signing you will sign all of the documents at the title company and deliver the final amount due for closing.
• Normally within 24 hours (next day) the loan is funded by Rivermark, the deed is recorded and you are now the owner of a new home and the keys are yours.

What is the difference between the interest rate and the APR (Annual Percentage Rate)?

The interest rate is used to calculate your mortgage payment. The APR is a broader measure of the cost of your mortgage and includes finance charges that apply to your mortgage. An APR is an effective tool to make apples-to-apples comparisons of mortgage options.
