If the Loan Officer would like to pay for the appraisal and be reimbursed by the Consumer at closing, the appraisal may be ordered at any time. No form of payment (other than the credit report) can be accepted from the consumer, regardless of whether or not the payment is processed, until the Intent to Proceed has been signed.
Underwriting You will receive an email from OpenClose notifying you that your loan has been decisioned Log into our system and you can find your decision under the Lender Loan Response document located in the edoc Manager on the Loan Snapshot screen within your loan Any conditions marked Prior to Docs are required from you before we clear the loan to close Pay close attention to your Settlement conditions as well so there are no surprises at the closing table Contact Inside Sales Support via email or phone with any questions regarding the decision and / or conditions

Submitting Conditions Submit conditions by uploading them through our website to _Conditions. This makes sure that your documents are secure and because we house all of our loan documents in the edoc Manager, it allows both you and MMC to track your documents now and for any future use Do not email conditions directly to MMC employees Please batch your conditions whenever possible. Submit as many conditions at one time in one PDF upload Keep current turn times in mind when setting the proper expectations (normally 48 hours for condition review) It s important to remember that when conditions are submitted, this could result in additional conditions/questions
Turn Times Underwriting and condition turn times are posted on our daily rate sheets. Anything uploaded after 4:00 pm is considered next business day The last conditions should be submitted in time to meet TRID guidelines. This includes all invoices, hazard binders, and rate extensions Please keep in mind when submitting loans or conditions that require outside approval or condition sign off, turn times will vary. We are at the mercy of the outside agency (example RD loans) Keep in mind that submitting everything at the last minute may result in more conditions, thereby delaying your closing
Loan Estimate/Closing Disclosure We have created a chart to assist you in determining fee placement for the Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure. Please refer to the LE/CD Fee Job Aid. We request that you review this document to see if your own TRID policies line up to our interpretation. If there are discrepancies please inform us and we can review and determine if they will cause challenges in loan purchasing.
Change of Circumstance As a reminder, Change of Circumstance requests are accepted in the following cases: An extraordinary event beyond the control of any interested party or other unexpected event specific to the consumer or transaction; Information specific to the consumer or transaction that the creditor relied upon when providing the Loan Estimate and that was inaccurate or changed after the disclosures were provided; or New information specific to the consumer or transaction that the creditor did not rely on when providing the Loan Estimate Information the creditor knew or had in its possession at the time the initial LE was issued cannot be considered a changed circumstance, even if it was not reviewed until after the LE was issued.

Changes include but are not limited to: Settlement Provider Change Fee change or Fee addition Loan Amount Program Change TBD Flip New information related to the borrower or property that the lender did not have at the time the previous LE or CD was issued, which results in a change to closing costs MMC will require that Change of Circumstances issued after submission are uploaded to OpenClose as they occur.
