How Click Mortgage Works
Click Mortgage guides borrowers through the entire mortgage process, from the first click to closing, starting with our online application. Along with information from your credit report, we will verify your income and asset information using our industry-leading technology. That information allows us to offer you recommendations about mortgage products you can be approved for.
Click Mortgage handles the approval for your mortgage with the lender and product that best meets your needs. We handle all of the dealings with the lender who approves you, and remain a point of contact for you for as long as you have a mortgage.
Checking an applicant’s credit score is an important part of the mortgage application process. The impact on your credit score is minimal, and of no concern for those with good credit. If your credit is not so great, you can submit your application anyway, and we will work through it with you before pulling credit and help you determine the best way to move forward. For more information, you can read our article about credit checks.
We will arrange the appraisal on your behalf if a lender determines one is necessary. In this case, an appraiser will visit the property and produce a report which determines the market value. For more information, you can read our article about appraisals.
All you need to get started is an email address for each person who will be on the application. You will be asked for 3 years of job history and address history for each person. We will also need details about properties anyone on the application may own. SINs are not required but it is recommended to include them so we can process your application as fast as possible.
Click Mortgage makes it easy for you to reach us by phone, text, email, social media or video chat. We also make it easy for you to apply online and complete your mortgage from start to finish without talking to anyone.
There are some situations where we will need to talk to you directly. Once you submit your application, we might have questions or need to clarify something. We’ll use phone calls, text messages, and emails to communicate important information about your file.
Of course! We’re only ever a phone call away. You can Talk to Us in whatever way works best for you.
We can approve you with a credit score as low as 600, as long as you and the property meet other approval criteria. The score we use is different from the score you get from your credit card company or other sources. Credit scores are just one factor in a mortgage approval, so we encourage you to apply even if you think your score is below 600.
