The Loan Processor works with the Loan Officer make sure the correct documentation for the borrower has been collected for the type of loan for which they are applying. The Processor may also do a direct verification of employment and amounts on deposit with the borrower’s financial institution
This is the formal acknowledgement that funds have been committed for your loan If there are conditions, please make sure they will not be a problem to satisfy by reviewing them with your Loan Officer You will then be asked to sign the Loan Commitment and send it to your Realtor®.
