John and Elsa are getting married and are looking for a perfect place to live.

A home.

They are starting to get acquainted with the mortgage world which is super exciting but on the other hand, quite challenging if you don’t know how the mortgage process works.

As a first step, they are going to the mortgage banker with their financial papers, such as their income, savings and investments, to get pre-qualified for a mortgage. The loan officer will review all this information and decide how much can be lent to them. Later on they will be able to get pre-approved for credit, which would give them an advantage for being chosen as the buyers of a property.

Not much after the excitement, they get overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork they have to complete. The whole process is taking forever! It will take them about 2 months from filling in the application form until closing.

So many people involved in the process! and such an unclear and non-transparent paperwork going on! The more people and paper, the more money John and Elsa are supposed to spend on getting their mortgage loan…

The traditional mortgage process is such a complex one…
