The process

At Optimal Rate, we believe that the loan process should be predictable and painless. The only way for any mortgage company to achieve this is to have a thorough understanding of how the loan process works and to have the right people in the key roles that interact with your loan at various stages of the process.

Stage 1: Loan Application

stage 2: accepted offer

stage 3: initial underwriting approval

stage 4: Resubmitting for final approval

stage 5: Closing Disclosure/Loan Documents

stage 6: Get your keys!

Our family has used Aaron twice, once for a refi and once for the purchase of a new home. Aaron listened to our needs and provided loan options based on what was important to us. Great communication!

What Our customers say

Aaron and Cici were both awesome!  Very professional.  Aaron is great at brainstorming ideas to make things work.  He came up with ideas to help us fund our home purchase that we wouldn’t have thought of.  They were also very communicative and easy to reach if we had questions.  Highly recommend!!!
