After your loan is approved, you will be required to sign the final loan documents. This will normally take place in front of a notary public. Be prepared to:

• Bring a cashiers check for your down payment and closing costs if required. Personal checks are normally not accepted.

• Review the final loan documents. Make sure that the interest rate and loan terms are what you were promised. Also, verify that the name and address on the loan documents are accurate.

• Sign the loan documents.

Your loan will normally close shortly after you have signed the loan documents. On refinance and home equity loan transactions federal law requires that you have 3 days to review the documents before your loan transaction can close
