DO’s

DO notify us of any employment changes such as recent raise, promotion, transfer, change of pay status.

DO notify us of all plans to fund your down payment and closing costs. All funds must be liquid and accessible as soon as possible to avoid any potential delays. If you plan to receive a gift towards your down payment and closing costs, please notify us immediately.
