Typical timeline: pre-approval (1-3 days), conditional approval (7-10 days), clear to close (14-21 days total). Varies by lender complexity. Delays from documentation, appraisal, underwriting common. Professional coordination reduces delays. Communication essential. Tracking progress important. Extensions required if delayed. Financing contingency deadline affects timeline. Professional property managers track progress. Lenders vary significantly in speed. Shopping lenders for speed worthwhile.
Pro Tip
Track your financing progress actively. Early identification of delays enables correction before closing is delayed.
