Buying a home is a big moment. Here’s what it’s like working with us, from people who’ve been there. 

Hannah

Way to exceed expectations!

It was a great experience. I was told it could take up to 30 days... I closed in two weeks. Hannah and the entire processing team were great and provided updates. I closed with Magan, and she was excellent, too. Way to exceed expectations!

Magan

Knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly

I cannot speak highly enough about Embers Credit Union. Transferring my consumer loans and HELOC was seamless from start to finish. The staff was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly. Magan was especially great to work with, always responsive and helpful throughout the process. I would confidently recommend Embers for mortgage services.

Mortgage FAQs

Questions, Answered

Buying a home comes with a lot of questions. Here are the ones we hear most often, so you can feel more prepared and confident throughout the process.

Do I need to find a house before I apply for a mortgage?

No, most realtors prefer that home buyers are pre-approved by a financial institution prior to looking at houses to be sure they are searching in their accurate price range. By being pre-approved you shorten the length of time needed to process your mortgage loan allowing you to move into your new home sooner. In addition, sellers prefer to know that potential buyers are pre-approved when presented with an offer to purchase.

Is an escrow account required for taxes and insurance?

In certain circumstances an escrow account may be required. Escrow accounts are highly recommended to our members in order to ensure timely payments of taxes and hazard insurance. With an escrow account, we handle the payment of taxes and insurance for you, allowing you to have one less thing to worry about paying on time. Should you have a question about an escrow account, you may contact your loan officer or stop by any of our offices.

Optional Link

Is there a penalty to pay off my mortgage early?

No, we do not have a pre-payment penalty or early termination fee associated with any of our mortgage products.

What documents do I need to apply for a mortgage?

  • One month's worth of pay stubs.
  • W-2s from the last two years.
  • Tax returns from the last two years (if self-employed).
  • Your two latest bank statements.

How long does the mortgage process take?

When purchasing a home, the mortgage process generally takes 30 days. Refinances are generally processed in 45 days.

Can I pay extra in addition to my regular payment?

Yes, you can pay extra in addition to your regular payment at any time which results in a shortened loan term. This extra amount will be applied as a principal only payment, reducing your current balance, but will not affect your next payment due date.
