Hurry Up, and Wait!

The mortgage business like many others is filled with moments of hurry up and wait. Hurry up I need you to take my mortgage application, but have to wait to receive the supporting documents in order to submit it for approval. Hurry up and get me approved, but have to wait for the underwriter to review the file and approve it. Hurry up and get all the conditions met so I can advise my realtor, but have to wait for the fulfilment specialist to review all the documents.

As much as we and clients want things done yesterday, things take time. I find that the process proceeds much more smoothly when expectations are set in advance and advised what the timelines are for various stages. This is also why I request a full document package up front and upon submission so this minimizes any potential surprises and allows for a much smoother transaction.

Today I am thankful for receiving my 1st shot of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, actually having access to a vaccine at all to fight this pandemic and being up before all the jackhammers started going this morning.
