Documentation is Key

These days, lenders require alot of documents, including the kitchen sink! Working with a Mortgage Broker won’t take away the amount of paperwork required, but it will make things far easier and the process much smoother.

We’ve prepared a basic checklist documentation requirements. Some documents will be required upfront, and some can be collected at a later date.

This is a general checklist. The first phone call with your broker will be important as they’ll help you sort through the requirements based on your unique situation.
