Best Practices
E-Mail the following Documentation Directly to Your Clients
Mortgage Professional
•
Contract of Purchase & Sale
•
Complete MLS Listing
•
Property Disclosure Statement
•
Strata Documents if Applicable
•
Any Documents Referenced in the Contract
Good to Know
Not all lenders accept electronic signatures on contracts. Every
clients qualification and mortgage requirements are different so
If you are using electronic signatures please contact your
clients mortgage broker to confirm they are acceptable before
having a contract signed.
Though electronic signatures are convenient some lenders do
not accept them as there currently has not been a court case
that has proven that they stand.
Want to make sure your
clients Subject to Financing
removal date is met?
Your clients final mortgage approval is heavily relied
on their supporting documents being available for
lender review. Before determining a Subject Removal
Date ask your clients the following:
1.
Have you been pre-qualified for the type of
property you are looking at?
2.
Has your mortgage professional provided you
with a list of documentation required?
3.
Have you provided your mortgage professional
with all the requested documentation?
If the purchasers is missing documentation this may
delay their final mortgage approval.
The Most Common Delays
for Mortgage Approvals
Employment Confirmation
A current Job Letter & verbal confirmation of
employment is required by almost every lender.
Employment letters that do not provide specifics can
jeopardize an approval so it is important that the
applicant requests a letter with all their employment
terms specified as soon as possible. (ask your
mortgage broker for a sample letter)
In most cases Lenders will perform a verbal
confirmation of employment based on the job letter. If
the applicants employer does not provide an verbal
confirmation or their manager is unavailable in a
timely manner this may jeopardize the applicants
approval.
Applicants Do Not Have Up-To-
Date Income Tax Information
Available
This is especially important for self-employed,
commission, bonus and seasonal income as well as
applicants without guaranteed hours. A CRA Income
Tax Notice of Assessments from Revenue Canada
can take up to 14 business days to receive (Usually
quicker). Proof that they have paid their income taxes
is also required.
Appraisals
An appraisal can be called on any property by the Mortgage
Insurer or the Lender even if the client has significant equity.
Allow enough time for an Appraiser to schedule a viewing
that works with your clients or the sellers schedule, complete
the report and for the lender to review it.
