Understanding the Clear to Close Process 

For home buyers, the phrase “clear to close” is one of the most exciting words you’ll hear. It means that all of your documents have been reviewed and approved, and your mortgage lender has given you the green light to move forward with closing on your new home. But what does it really mean when you hear that phrase? Let's break it down. 


The Clear to Close Process 
The clear to close process is the final step in getting a mortgage loan approved. After submitting all of your paperwork, you will receive a conditional approval from your lender. This means that they have reviewed all of your documents and determined that you are eligible for a loan based on their criteria. However, before they can give you a clear to close status, there are still some items that need to be taken care of. 

First, the lender will conduct an appraisal of your property in order to make sure that it meets their standards and is worth what you offered for it. Once this is done, they will look over any additional documentation such as title work or insurance policies associated with the purchase in order to ensure everything is accurate and up-to-date. Finally, they will review all of these documents one last time in order to make sure everything checks out before giving you a “clear to close” status.  
       
Benefits Of Being Clear To Close

First, you can begin scheduling your closing date as soon as possible so that everything with regard to the sale goes smoothly and without any delays or surprises.
