A mortgage and lending review covers the loan estimate, promissory note, mortgage or deed of trust, disclosures, and closing documents. It looks for mispriced fees, inaccurate interest calculations, and unclear terms. This review helps you understand obligations before signing and can prevent surprises at closing.
Timelines vary with complexity. A straightforward loan may take a few days to a couple of weeks; more complex transactions can take longer. We coordinate with lenders to keep the process moving and provide timely updates.
Ask to clarify the APR, total costs, and any points or credits. Request a side‑by‑side comparison of the Closing Disclosure and Loan Estimate to identify differences and ensure consistency.
Sometimes errors can be corrected before closing. If issues persist after closing, there may be remedies depending on the mistake. Consult with a lawyer to understand your options.
A loan estimate is provided early in the process; the Closing Disclosure is issued later and reflects final terms. Discrepancies between them should be reviewed with counsel and the lender.
While not always required, having a local attorney can help you understand state and local rules and coordinate with the lender. An attorney can help prevent closing delays and clarify your rights.
Look for experience with California real estate, familiarity with Orland, and clear, responsive communication. Ask how they have handled recent mortgage or title issues and the outcomes.
Yes. A thorough review can identify overcharges or misapplied payments before you sign. A proactive review supports fair terms and reduces disputes later.
Costs typically reviewed include origination charges, points, title fees, escrow payments, and recorded liens. We also verify disclosures, estimated taxes, and projected closing costs for accuracy.
Escrow affects timing and cost allocations; reviewing escrow terms helps prevent misalignment. We verify what funds are held and when they are released to protect your interests.
