The Process

Step 1
The first step is completing your personal information. The quickest, most secure method of providing your information is through SunTrust’s convenient online application. Simply click the “Apply Now” button on the left of your screen.

You will be taken directly to SunTrust's online application. Click "Enter a New Application" to begin.

SunTrust Mortgage Application Page

 

To build the best loan program for your needs, please take the time to complete each item as accurately as possible. 

Once you have completed the form, click "SUBMIT" and Gary will be notified that your information is ready for review. 


Step 2

Gary personally reviews your information and sets-up a time to call and discuss the specifics of your home financing needs.


Step 3
Items needed for Loan Application
Once the right loan program has been chosen, we need to obtain copies of your personal documents to support the information you provided on the internet submission. 

In order to better serve you, we have provided a “Checklist” of the items needed.

Please fax or deliver your items to Allison as quickly as possible. The faster we are able to obtain all the documents on the list, the faster we will be able to get your application approved.


Step 4

Once your information is received, Allison submits your file to a SunTrust set-up team who then orders the appraisal and title.


Step 5

Allison sends an email attachment or fax with your loan documents which includes your Good Faith Estimate*, appraisal, rate, etc.

*The Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is based on sales price of your home and does not include any property specific fees such as Home Owners or Condo Association Fees, etc.

If you have any questions about the paperwork, interest rate, or the required documentation in Steps 3 - 5, please contact Allison directly. Her knowledge of your files allows her to provide you the fastest service during this stage of the loan process. 


Step 6

You will receive a package of information for you to keep as well as some important documents that need to be signed and returned. Please verify with Allison that you have received the package and sign and initial the appropriate paper work in blue ink.

Once you have signed the loan documents and Good Faith Estimate, you may fax them back to:

404-954-3141


Step 7

Next, your file is reviewed by underwriting who adds conditions and approves the loan. 


Step 8

After underwriting, Amy and/or Karen processes the file.  Please note that they may need to contact you for additional documentation once they review the underwriter’s comments.

Prompt receipt of any additional paperwork will enhance Amy and Karen’s ability to get you to the closing table in a timely fashion.


Step 9
Once the file is complete, Amy and/or Karen schedules the closing.

If you have any questions about the processing of your loan, please contact Amy and/or Karen directly. They have the knowledge and expertise to provide the fastest, most accurate answers during this stage of the loan process.


Delivering a World Class Closing:
It is our job and our pleasure to ensure all your needs are met prior to the loan closing. If you have any special requirements such as Power of Attorney, title held in trust, etc.; please contact any of our team members. By notifying us of your needs as soon as possible, we can proactively prepare and make the proper arrangements so that your closing will go as smooth as possible.

As a result of recent changes in the financial and banking markets, many law firms have altered their procedures for funds for closing (wire transfers, source of funds, subordination agreements, etc.). For example, many firms now require all funds for closing to be delivered by wire transfer and will no longer accept certified funds, cashier’s checks, etc. We want to make sure you are properly prepared for your closing and that there are no surprises! So, please contact your closing attorney directly to verify how their firm handles funds for closing and to obtain the necessary wiring instructions.
