How long does the approval process take?
With a thorough, completed application, we can work very quickly in issuing an approval. The background check usually takes a week to turn-around and if there are no issues, we can issue an approval shortly thereafter. If there are questions or documentation is missing, the process should take no longer than 4 weeks, unless we do not receive timely responses from the applicant.
Also, please note that during the application process, it may be best to simultaneously apply for a correspondent approval with your end investors to expedite that process. For existing correspondents, we will just ask for documentation of your investor approvals.
How does a warehouse benefit me?
A few benefits include:
- Increase control of your lending process which enables you to deliver on your customer experience expectations.
- Potential for better pricing selling loans as a correspondent.
- Possible volume incentives
- Operational efficiencies
- Compliance efficiencies
- Your #1 Goal is your customer’s experience. A warehouse allows you to set and deliver upon expectations that you put in place. Never have to be at the mercy of a large wholesaler again!
What sort of support staff do I need to manage a warehouse efficiently?
There are many options for managing your in house. One is to dedicate an internal staff and another is to contract with a third party fulfillment company. Please consult one of our team members about options and the best plan for your company.
