What is an escrow?

During the home buying process, the Title Company will hold the earnest money deposit (EMD) until the purchase transaction closes. An earnest money deposit is a payment provided by the buyer to the seller to demonstrate their commitment to the purchase. As your mortgage lender we will establish an escrow account to pay for the property taxes and homeowners insurance after purchasing a home. Each month, a portion of your mortgage payment will go into this account, which can fluctuate annually depending on changes made to your property tax bill and insurance premium. For specific questions regarding your escrow account, please contact our Mortgage Services department at 850.862.0111 x3737 during business hours.

Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI or MIP) is a type of coverage that is required if you obtain a Conventional mortgage - one that isn't federally guaranteed - and put down less than 20% to purchase a home or have less than 20% equity when refinancing. PMI protects the lender in case you default on the home loan. This premium is paid monthly and is factored into your mortgage payment. For specific questions regarding PMI, please contact our Mortgage Services department at 850.862.0111 x3737 during business hours.

What should I expect during each phase of the process of getting a mortgage loan?
There are several stages of the mortgage process. Origination is the initial stage where your loan application is prepared and submitted. It involves gathering all necessary documents and information to start the loan process. During the origination phase, you will need to submit an application, pay the credit report fee (if applicable), sign and return the initial loan disclosures, provide supporting documentation, and pay the appraisal deposit (if applicable). Our responsibilities during origination include issuing the loan estimate and other initial loan disclosures, completing the initial review of the loan application and documentation, submitting the mortgage loan to underwriting for approval (if applicable), advising you of the approval decision, and moving your file to processing. The second stage is Processing. During processing, we review your loan file for completeness and data consistency, order necessary services from third parties, and submit your mortgage loan to underwriting for final approval. During the next stage, Underwriting, the underwriter will evaluate your supporting documentation, review your file for completeness and data consistency, and issue a "clear to close" upon satisfaction of all conditions. Your responsibility during both the processing and underwriting stages is to submit any additional documentation as requested. After underwriting and prior to closing, you will be expected to review your closing disclosure (if applicable) and wire funds to the title company (if applicable). We will verify the closing date and time with the title company, issue/balance the closing disclosure (if applicable), notify you if funds are required for closing, add Eglin FCU as a mortgagee on the insurance policies, complete your employment verification, and send the closing package to the title company. During the final step, Closing, you will sign the closing documents, pay any funds needed for closing (if applicable), and sign a notice of non-rescission/right to cancel (if applicable). We will then review the executed closing documents for funding approval and fund the loan.

Your mortgage payment can change for several reasons. If your property taxes increase or decrease, your mortgage payment may be adjusted accordingly, especially if you have an escrow account that covers these taxes and your homeowners insurance. Changes in your homeowners insurance premiums can also affect your mortgage payment. Additionally, your lender may perform an annual escrow analysis to ensure there are enough funds to cover property taxes and insurance. If there's a shortfall, your monthly payment may be adjusted to make up the difference. Lastly, if you lose any property tax exemptions, your property taxes may increase, leading to a higher mortgage payment. If you have specific questions about your mortgage payment, please contact our Mortgage Services department by calling 850.862.0111 x3737 or by visiting one of our local branches during business hours.
