In-House Mortgage Underwriting: Why it Matters

In-house underwriting enables salary-based mortgage consultants and underwriters to communicate more effectively on the details of your mortgage application and that can make all the difference in getting approved for a mortgage.

Benefits of in-house underwriting

The biggest advantage is that borrowers have a more personal connection to the process. You are a person with a story, a situation. If the underwriter needs more information to explain any red flags like gaps in employment or credit issues, an "in-house" underwriter communicates with your direct salary-based mortgage consultant to help explain your situation or help you collect more information.

It can improve the chances of being approved without delay. Delays can lead to costly fees for missing deadlines and could even force you to miss out on your dream home.

Other lenders

By contrast, many large mortgage lenders out-source the underwriting to third-party companies or individuals. This can save the lender a few dollars over-time but can also slow the process, introduce unnecessary costs for the borrower, and possibly create confusion with so many different hands on your loan file.
