Putting together your mortgage financing is likely one of the most exciting times of your life. You've probably put an offer in on a house. You've normally got about 10 business days to clear up all the conditions on your offer, including a house inspection and financing, or the deal will fall through. Now what?

Hopefully, you got pre-approved for a mortgage, before you went house hunting. If you did, you are in very good shape. The more places you got pre-approved, the better. Now, when the "rubber meets the road", you'll have to get the best final quote and get ready to sign some preliminary documents.

Perhaps you've already done the shopping around for the best rate when you were getting pre-approved, and now your next steps are fairly easy! All you have to do is confirm to your lending institution that your sale is about to go through, and get them to confirm to you your rate and their readiness to take on the mortgage. With the information that you provide about the property and home in hand, your lender is now ready to mortgage the new home once the sale is completed. You have very little more to do.
However, if you think that you might not have as good an interest rate as you might like, now is the time to get competing quotes and quickly. You'll need to get those mortgage quotes, compare them and potentially re-negotiate with a new lender. And while 10 business days may not seem like enough to get that done, most lenders will be able to react very quickly to your need for a mortgage. Just remember that you can do a lot of the work online! Many lenders will actually allow you to complete your mortgage application online, and then provide a guaranteed response time.
