How It Works
Every on-time closing follows the same three steps — and they all happen in week one, not week four.
1. Upfront Review
You get one complete needs list at application, and Russell reviews your documents the day they arrive. Anything unusual in your file — self-employed income, credit history, reserves — gets identified immediately, while there's still time to solve it.
2. Underwriter Pre-Clearance
If anything could raise a question, Russell takes it to underwriting before the application is formally submitted and gets written guidance on the approach. The hard questions get answered up front — so they never show up as surprises at closing.
3. Lender Match
Russell places your file with the one lender — out of 40+ — whose program actually fits your situation. The right fit from day one is why his clients close on time, and why they almost always end up with a better rate.
Review. Pre-clear. Match. Close on time. Start your pre-approval — typically 24–48 hours.
