Starting an App

 
     

We recommend going through this process on your own, of course, but here is a short description of what your visitors see.

  1. They start by clicking the Loan Application link on your site.
  2. In the screen that appears, they create an account if they do not already have one and can specify whether they've already dealt with someone in your office. All of the loan officers you have configured in your site's user manager are listed in a drop-down menu, along with their photo. If this is a new customer, they can choose the Not yet contacted office option. If the client chooses a specific loan officer, the application is automatically assigned to that officer in the Loan Apps section of your site.
  3. Then, they choose whether they want to fill out the Full or Quick loan application. Returning visitors can choose to either finish an existing loan application, or create a fax cover sheet which they can use to send you copies of supporting documents.
  4. Now, your client is ready to complete the online loan application. If they're using the Quick form, the application is a simple, short form.  The Full form, on the other hand, steps them through filling out a complete 1003 Uniform Residential Loan Application including all of the steps you've required in your loan application setup.
  5. Now, they can continue to fill out the online form, clicking the Back and Next buttons to move through the sections.  Our FlexApp adjusts to only ask relevant questions based on their prior answers (i.e. skipping co-borrower items if none is specified).  If necessary, they can click Save at any time to save their work, and return later to the complete the application.

After filling out the application, we explain DirectFax and give them the opportunity to print a cover page for items to fax in. At this point, you're also sent notification of their order, and they get a welcome message that tells them how to log back on to add documents and view the status of their application.
