Fixed-Rate Mortgage

Overview

  • Interest rate and payments remain the same for the life of the loan
  • Available in terms of 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 years

A Good Option If:

  • You want predictable monthly payments that will not change

The Mortgage Process

Buying or refinancing a home is exciting! At Elements, we want to make the mortgage process go as smoothly as possible for you so you never feel overwhelmed. On this page we’ll break down the steps you’ll take through the loan process — and remember, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

 

Which Loan is Right for You?

Couple moving into their new homeOkay, so you’ve heard people talk about fixed rate, adjustable rate, and a whole bunch of initials. How to figure out which is just right for you? That’s what your Elements Mortgage Loan Officer is here for! We’ll sit with you or chat on the phone to work through it for you. Here is some of the information we’ll need you to have available to get things started:

  • Monthly income
  • Current debt
  • Planned amount to spend on your house
  • Amount you have to put down
  • How long you’ll stay in the home
  • How flexible you can be with your monthly payments.

 

It’s Time to Apply

Does a loan application sound like a pile of paperwork? Never fear! Elements has pared it down to only the most essential information.

  • The basics about you
  • A little info on the property
  • Your annual income
  • Assets you plan to use for your down payment and closing costs
  • What you currently owe others — then we’ll run a credit report

 

Credit Approval

We know waiting is no fun, so we will give you an answer within 24 hours. Many lenders would just pre-qualify you at this point. Not Elements. This is a true loan commitment, which means you will know what kind of offer you can make. It is, however, legally subject to underwriting the home you are financing and verification of the information you’ve provided.

 

Loan Processing

This is that part we were talking about at the end of the last step. At this point we will verify the information you’ve provided on your loan application. In addition to reviewing documentation to verify your assets and income, we will also order an appraisal, title report and flood certification on the home. Your prepaid processing deposit will be used for these services, which also goes toward your closing costs. You’ll also get all the necessary disclosures at this time to review.

 

Final Loan Approval

You’re nearing the finish line now! This step involves underwriting your home. Then once we review that information, we will give you a final approval and prepare your loan for closing.

 

Closing

Grab a pen because this is when we prepare the loan documents for you and the escrow company to sign. Once we have received the signed documents, we will transfer money to the escrow company. It’s their job to disburse the loan and record the documents.

  1. 1 Rates are based on an evaluation of credit history, combined loan-to-value ratio, loan term, and occupancy, so your rate may differ. Not all applicants will qualify for the displayed lowest rates. The term is 25 years, consisting of a 10-year draw period with interest-only payments followed by a 15-year repayment period with principal plus interest, which may increase your monthly payments. The Introductory Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of 4.99% is for new Home Equity Lines of Credit only and is for the first six months. HELOC modifications, renewals and increases that utilize the same property are not considered new and are not eligible for the introductory rate. To receive the Introductory rate, a draw of at least $10,000 must be made within 30 days of account opening. After the introductory rate expires, balances will be charged at the variable APR based upon the Prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal plus a margin. The APR will never be lower than 3.75% or higher than 18%. The stated rate, correct as of January 1, 2025, applies to borrowers with credit scores of 730 or greater, CLTV 80% or less, and owner-occupied single-family residences. Elements Financial will conditionally waive the following Closing Costs associated with your home equity line of credit: flood certification, title search or title abstract, credit report, recording fees, and a simple valuation. You may be required to pay other costs such as taxes, and when required, appraisal fees. However, if you close your home equity line of credit within 36 months after it is opened, you will be required to pay an Early Closure Fee in the amount of the Closing Costs originally waived. These costs vary by state and property type. Elements Financial reserves the right to modify or end this offer at any time. Additional terms and conditions may apply. Subject to credit approval. Elements Financial Membership Required.
  2. 2 Origination Fee is $375. State-specific and title insurance fees may apply.
