Small details like title information, ownership history, employment history can create an escape clause for the borrower in the event of a lawsuit. Assistance with the property appraisal and underwriting process vastly helps speed up the mortgage loan approval process.

Customer support assistance goes a long way in helping borrowers clear doubts and sail smoothly through the loan approval process. Proactive customer service also
