Perks of a Magnifi Financial Mortgage Loan
We're Local
Local mortgage team means we can relate to your local values and help speed up the process to get to closing faster. Plus, a vast majority of our loans stay in-house instead of being sold off.
Loan Options
Magnifi Financial offers many different types of loans. From traditional loans to various government programs, we’ll be sure to set you up with the right mortgage that fits your needs.
Lower Fees
Instead of the typical 1% (or higher) origination fee for closing, Magnifi Financial has a single $1,000 closing fee*, no matter how large your mortgage loan might be.
Digital Experience
Connect your mortgage loan to your current Magnifi Financial digital banking account so you can view all your accounts and loans in a single place online or on the mobile app. Plus, schedule and pay your mortgage loan payments with a few clicks!
Home Loan Process
Complete an Application
Submit an application with some details such as your contact information, property details, current debt, monthly payments, and approximate credit score. A mortgage lender will be in touch within several business days with a loan estimate and any additional details. You will need to submit more documents such as bank statements, pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns, or details of your employment. Your mortgage lender will explain the documentation needed.
Home Appraisal
A mortgage lender will order an appraisal for your home to determine its value based on factors such as the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, similar homes sold recently in the area, and any other characteristics of the home. All of these factors will be considered when determining the loan amount and terms.
Sit tight as Magnifi Financial does some processing and files all the paperwork. We'll be in touch with you regarding the final details of your mortgage loan, how much your payment will be, and other fun details. This is also when the closing date will be set.
Mortgage Closing
It's Closing Day! We'll need your wet signature on a variety of documents to finalize your mortgage loan and process refinance of the mortgage loan. This will likely happen at a titled company's office.
