Platinum Pre-Approval

HMA will fully-underwrite a buyer’s credit file and issue a credit approval. This underwritten pre-approval Is good for 60 days and requires the following:

  • Borrower to provide a complete credit file, complete with credit report, income and asset documentation, and any additional documentation as required by underwriting.
  • Conforming, Fixed-Rate and FHA purchase loans only.
  • Minimum FICO and Debt-to-Income Ratio requirements apply.
  • Once approval is issued, if a home goes under contract for that borrower and HMA turns the loan down, we will pay the seller $2500.

Underwriting Pre-Approval decision is subject to:

  • Completion of Appraisal Report supporting the purchase price, if applicable
  • No unresolved property condition issues from a home inspection, if agreed to in the sales agreement
  • Insurable title from seller, free of defects or unresolved title issues
  • Purchase price and monthly PITI payment must remain within the limits set by the underwriting decision.
  • Borrower agrees not to make any significant changes to their credit profile until after the purchase transaction has been completed (e.g., buying a new car or changing employers). If such a change occurs it will invalidate an existing Underwriting Pre-Approval decision, but the borrower may request to be re-approved with the new information.
  • Borrower must not voluntarily withdraw their mortgage application.
