Best Practices
Our experienced team of Mortgage Advisors have seen it all. In order to avoid potential pitfalls in the purchase process, please follow these best practices until your loan has closed.
Stay Current
Continue to make timely payments on all existing debt and recurring payments as well as all household services and utilities.
Stay Consistent
Continue to use credit and debit cards as normal but avoid making large purchases or large deposits into your bank account (if you must please consult your advisor). Don’t change employment status, apply for new credit, switch banks or co-sign for a loan.
Stay Cautious
Consider joining a credit watch program, be wary of requests for personal information and save complete copies of your bank statements and pay stubs.
Stay Connected
Please reach out to your Mortgage Advisor at Stonegate Mortgage with any questions or concerns you may have.
I just wanted to thank you for all of your help during the purchase of our new home. It was a very complicated process and the staff at Stonegate Mortgage was extremely patient and helpful through the entire process. I was not the only person who was impressed; the seller’s agent for Century 21 mentioned that she was so happy with their services that she will be giving his contact information to her future clients.
