It’s a fact, in today’s Nevada mortgage lending environment it takes a little more documentation and items to complete a mortgage application and file than it used to. But it doesn’t have to take longer to process and finalize your mortgage as long as we are both prepared for which documents will be needed.
Please use the list below as a checklist for the documentation that you will need to provide us to get your loan process moving as quickly and efficiently as possible for both of us.

Hopefully this list will be everything we will need and there will be “No Surprises” for you. Unfortunately, I don’t determine that but we will communicate any requests for additional documents to you as quickly as possible. It’s your situation, loan program, loan to value, or other circumstances that will determine if additional items will be necessary. If required, please try to get any additional items to us as quickly as possible so we can continue to process and underwrite your loan to ensure your on-time closing.
