To reduce the Underwriting time frame and ensure a smooth process on your non-Delegated submissions, Sellers should review the Best Practices outlined below. Following these tips will lower the number of conditions on your loan and shorten the overall turn time.
- Ensure the required documents are included in your initial credit file:
- Loan registration reflects the correct property type and attachment type
- Initial and signed URLA
- Most updated AUS findings
- Tri-merged credit report
- FHA Case Number assignment (FHA only)
- Income documentation as identified in the AUS
- Asset documentation as identified in the AUS – including all pages of statements or gift documentation
- Credit inquiry letter if the credit report shows inquiries within last 90 days
- Documentation of housing payment on any retained properties
- Processor cert or explanation of any unique situation on the loan
- Communicate your closing date or commitment/contingency date to your dedicated Correspondent Specialist
- When submitting conditions or trailing documents, upload the documentation to the specific condition. Do not provide one PDF with all conditions.
- Allow sufficient time for conditions to be reviewed, at least 5 days prior to CTC (when possible)
- Review the comments from the Underwriter on Rejected conditions.
Prior to purchase conditions should be sent within the Closed Loan file. Underwriters will not review Prior to Purchase conditions
