9.25.23 - CTC Notification

When your loan is clear to close, you will get an email from your underwriter copying your closing team stating that your loan is CTC.

It will be assigned to a closer and the closer will work with your title company to balance and get docs out within 24 hours. If this is a TX loan file, please allow 48 hours for docs.

9.18.23 - Closing in a Trust

If you are getting an error or you see your other fees section in red, this is usually due to the trust review fee. If you are closing in a trust, you must enter a trust name. If you are not, you may click the minus sign next to the amount to remove it.
