Mortgage and lending review is the process of assessing loan agreements, disclosures, and related documents to confirm accuracy, compliance, and fairness before closing.
Key elements include document verification, rate and fee analysis, disclosures review, risk assessment, and negotiation of terms; processes involve review, client briefing, and coordinated follow-up with lenders.
This glossary explains common terms you may encounter in mortgage and lending reviews.

Promissory Note: a written promise to repay a loan under specified terms.
