Shouldn't the applicant be involved and/or aware of ALL activity at LEAST weekly making GOOD communication with lender a MUST?

It really depends on the situation. Believe it or not, the lender may not have anything to update on a weekly basis. I take the time to set the proper expectations upfront. I walk my clients through the process and I give them milestones so they know when XYZ happens, their loan is moving forward in the process. I also tell them there will be 3 different steps throughout the process where I will reach out via email, text or phone call.If you're not hearing from the lender it's more than likely because there is nothing to update.| John Burke | Senior Mortgage Banker | Lending in ALL 50 states |Stride Bank | jburke@stridebank.com | (877)228-9069 | NMLS# 787231 |
