Certificate of Eligibility

STEP 1: OBTAIN A CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY

The first step in your VA home loan process is obtaining a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). A COE showcases that you meet the requirements for a VA loan as well as the amount the Department of Veterans Affairs will guarantee on your loan. At the Reichert Mortgage Team, we specialize in VA loans. Our team will work with you to help you secure a COE to begin your VA home loan process.

STEP 2: PREQUALIFY FOR A VA LOAN

Prequalifying for a VA loan gives you a good estimate of your budget for buying a home. Getting preapproved also strengthens your purchase offers because it shows sellers you are serious about buying a home. When working with the Reichert Mortgage Team, we will review your financial documentation, such as employment, banking, credit information, and other factors to determine the best mortgage for your situation.

STEP 3: FIND THE PERFECT HOME

The next step in the VA home loan process is finding your dream home. It is best to work with a real estate agent who specializes in VA loans because they will be familiar with purchasing a home with this type of loan. Many types of homes can be purchased with a VA loan, including single-family homes, multi-unit properties, condominiums, new construction homes, and manufactured homes. The Reichert Mortgage Team will assist you throughout your entire loan process to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.

STEP 4: THE REICHERT MORTGAGE TEAM PROCESSES YOUR APPLICATION

Once you find the home of your dreams, you will put in an offer and sign a purchase agreement. A signed purchase contract is what you need to finish your VA home loan application. The Reichert Mortgage Team will work with you to review your financial situation and process your VA loan. At the same time, a VA appraisal will be completed on the property to ensure it meets the requirements set by the Department of Veterans Affairs. When the application is completed and the appraisal is approved, you are one step away from finishing the VA home loan process.
