Financing

With the excitement of buying a home, we sometimes forget what a financial institution may require at loan time. At Watts Realty we work with several area lenders to help make that process flow as smoothly as possible. We have put together a short check list of information you may need when you apply for your mortgage.

Please note that this list may not be all inclusive so please check with each financial institution for their individual requirements.

• Drivers license or other ID
• Residence address for the past two years
• Name & address of each employer for the past two years & W-2's
• Gross monthly salary & current pay stubs for last 30 days
• Social Security number(s)
• 3 months bank statements
• Names, addresses, account #, balances, & monthly payments of all open loans
• Address of other real estate owned
• Money for credit report & appraisal
