How long does underwriting take? Underwriting—the process in which mortgage lenders verify your assets to get a home loan—can last a little as two to three days, but typically takes over a week to finish.
Underwriting happens right before you close on a house, so timing can be crucial, particularly if you want to move in by a certain date. But make no mistake: Underwriting is unavoidable. All loans go through an underwriting process before the lender can promise you the funds for a purchase.
Learn from Russ O’Donnell, CEO of Call The Underwriter, how to speed up the underwriting process. He’ll take you through the steps in just over 4 minutes.
