The PNC Mortgage Loan Process

PNC Bank provides ongoing support for homebuyers throughout the mortgage loan process.

Step 1. Get a Preliminary Pre-Approval

Mortgage pre-approval informs your budget and strengthens purchase offers. With PNC's preliminary pre-approval, you can check your buying power without impacting your credit score.

Step 2. Find Your New Home

Work with a licensed real estate agent to find the right home and get the seller to accept your offer.

Step 3. Complete the Home Loan Application

Once the home is under contract, you can submit financial documents to complete the mortgage application.

Step 4. Work with Your PNC Loan Officer

The loan officer will review the application, request additional documentation as needed, and draft the loan docs for your signature.

Step 5. Get the Funding to Close on Your New Home

With the loan docs signed, the funds are made available so you are “clear to close” on the new home.

Fixed-Rate Mortgages

A fixed rate allows you to “lock in” the interest rate for the full term of the loan. Because the interest rate doesn’t change, you make the same payment each month until the loan is repaid. If rates go down in the future, you could refinance to lock in a new, lower rate.

Explore Fixed Rate Mortgages

Adjustable-Rate Mortgages (ARMs)

An adjustable rate will increase and decrease throughout the life of your loan, depending on market conditions. There’s an introductory period with a fixed rate, after which your rate will automatically decrease when market rates fall and automatically increase when market rates rise. To offset this potential risk, ARMs are typically offered at lower initial interest rates than fixed-rate mortgages.

Jumbo Loans

These loans exceed the loan maximum amounts set by Fannie Mae, Freddie mac and the Federal Housing Agency. Exceeding the maximum amount means these agencies can’t buy the loans from the originator on the secondary mortgage market. This means the lender is taking a greater risk in issuing the loan, resulting in typically higher interest rates.

FHA Loans

These loans are government-backed, which means they have more flexible qualification criteria than conventional loans. There are fixed- and adjustable-rate options.

VA Loans

These loans are exclusively available to military servicemembers, veterans and their spouses for purchasing a primary residence. They’re backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing those who serve our country access to favorable home loan terms like competitive interest rates and down payments as low as 0% for well-qualified buyers.

USDA Loans

These loans are available for low-to-moderate-income buyers in rural areas, backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They’re intended to promote homebuying in less-populated areas by offering low downpayment options on qualifying properties.

Physician Loans

These loans are for the unique financial needs of medical professionals and are available to interns, residents, fellows and doctors who have completed residency in the last five years. They offer up to $1.5 million in home financing and allow gift funds to be used as part of a down payment. There’s also no private mortgage insurance required for buyers with a down payment less than 20%.

Digital preapproval requires the assistance of a Mortgage Loan Officer. After the first part of the application process is complete, a PNC Mortgage Loan Officer will reach out to finish the remainder of the preapproval.

Having a preapproval may give you an advantage over other buyers that are not preapproved. Some realtors/sellers prefer to have their buyer preapproved when making an offer, which may give you a competitive edge in having your offer selected.

Refinancing at a longer repayment term may lower your mortgage payment, but may also increase the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Refinancing at a shorter repayment term may increase your mortgage payment, but may lower the total interest paid over the life of the loan. Contact us to discuss the option that best meets your needs.

Rate may increase after settlement.
