· Use Company Tools:

Upload and organize the correct documents in the company’s internal systems and portal used for the underwriting process.

· Follow Guidelines:

Ensure all application review work follows company policies, underwriting rules, and legal regulations in the mortgage industry.

· Communicate with Stakeholders:

Work closely with applicants and Mortgage Ops team and other team members to ask for missing documents, explain decisions, and give updates on the application status.

· Keep Records:

Maintain clear and accurate records of what documents were approved or rejected, the reasons why, and what additional information is needed.

· Stay Informed:

Keep yourself updated on any new industry practices, rule changes, or underwriting trends to do the job better.

· Help Improve the Process:

Share your feedback and ideas to make the application review process faster, more efficient, and better for the customer.
