What are the steps in the mortgage application process?

The mortgage application process involves four 4 steps: preparing to meet with your mortgage advisor, collecting documents, the application itself, and signing official documents for purchase.

Note that any mortgage application begins with an online pre-approval to certify the amount you can borrow for a mortgage. A pre-approval shows the seriousness of your approach and helps you gain an advantage over other buyers.
