Application

The goal of our application is to gather as much information as possible up front. This gives us a major head start and allows us to fly through the process.

Upfront Underwriting

Movement Mortgage underwrites every loan at the beginning of the loan process. This gives you a major advantage in a crowded market, and helps prevent any last minute rushing. Our "reverse" approach is unique, and allows you to bypass an industry full of stressful and slow lenders. Our Underwriters assess the loan and aim to have it released from Underwriting within 6 hours.

Approved with Conditions

Congrats, you're now approved with conditions. Conditions are like little red flags that show there are still items to address. You will work with your loan officer and resolve these. Now it's time to move forward into processing.

7-Day Processing

Our process is goal-oriented rather than deadline-oriented. Most lenders attempt to just work towards a closing date or deadline. This often leads to problems and rushing around hours before closing or even missing the closing date. At Movement we do things differently. By working to a 7 day goal we can have closing documents out weeks before closing and avoid all the last minute craziness. This process is unique to Movement Mortgage and we process over 75% of our loans in 7 business days or less.
