Pre-Approval: Increase Your Bargaining Power

As you get nearer to finding your home, you can contact WCI Mortgages to obtain a pre-approval. A pre-approval letter can increase your bargaining power with a seller because s/he will know that you have been approved for financing and will be able to close quickly.

To obtain a written pre-approval from WCI Mortgages, simply complete our online pre-approval, or get in touch with us one of these ways!

Use our Pre-qualification Calculator to see if you fall within our normal guidelines to qualify for a WCI Communities loan. (Keep in mind that this calculator is a tool for your use and does not grant approval or disapproval for a mortgage loan.)

Closing

Shortly after you apply for your loan, you will receive notification if your mortgage is approved. If it is approved, the mortgage process will end with your closing, or settlement.

Your closing agent will advise you of the documents and closing costs that you will need to bring to the closing table. You may want to seek the advice of an attorney who will be able to advise you on the specifics of your transaction and assist you at the closing.

Some of the documents you will be asked to provide at or before your closing include a homeowner's insurance policy and paid receipt. Your closing costs will include charges for title insurance, escrows and other fees.

Closing costs will vary from case to case. You may roughly estimate your total closing costs at 3% to 6% of the purchase price of the home you are buying, or 3% to 6% of the loan amount of the home you are refinancing.
