Selling

Financing
Their agents help you find reputable lenders and explain the steps involved in securing a mortgage. They support you from getting pre-approved—where your income and credit are evaluated—to completing the loan application and finalizing the deal. This guidance helps reduce confusion and keeps you informed throughout.
Sunlight Realty recommends meeting with a loan officer early to get pre-approved. This process involves verifying your income, assets, and creditworthiness to determine how much you can borrow. Being pre-approved shows sellers you are a serious buyer and helps you focus your home search within your financial limits.
Once you apply for a mortgage, the lender reviews your documents and orders an appraisal to confirm the property’s value. They also conduct a title examination to ensure clear ownership. The application is then sent to an underwriter who verifies compliance before approving the loan for closing.
Closing involves signing the mortgage and property paperwork at the title company. You’ll pay any remaining fees and set up homeowners insurance. After the loan is recorded, you officially become the owner and can move into your new home. Sunlight Realty supports you throughout to ensure a smooth closing.
