Brandon has been an unexpected gem in my refinance journey. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and ability to make me feel at ease throughout the refinance process last year made him the only choice to once again take advantage of the even greater rates this year. Brandon is very knowledgeable of the loan process and went above and beyond expectations to keep me informed of my status. When I had questions, his timely responses were very much appreciated. Brandon made me feel like family which means he will be my only choice for future home loan requirements. I've already recommended him to other family members who also have nothing but positive feedback regarding Brandon's professionalism. He is definitely a rising star and will go far in his career!!!

Reliance is an approved FHA, VA and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lender.

Reliance First Capital offers a digital application process, although it will work with borrowers who prefer paper, too.
How to apply. You can start an application via the Reliance website. From there, you can complete the application digitally using the web portal, where you can upload documents digitally. If you prefer paper, though, that’s fine, too. The loan rate is typically locked in when you submit an “intent to proceed” with your application.
Disclosure process. You can review disclosure documents through Reliance First Capital’s secure web portal or on paper, depending on your personal preference.
Submitting loan for approval. Reliance First Capital will provide you with a checklist of the documents you need to upload. Once you have submitted all your required loan documents, the loan is submitted to underwriting for approval. This is typically done within hours of submitting the paperwork. If an appraisal is required, Reliance First Capital will contact an appraisal company, which will then get in contact with you and schedule the appraisal and collect the appraisal fee.
Final approval. After it receives the appraisal, Reliance First Capital will work with you to secure any other documentation requested by the underwriters, at which point your loan will be submitted for final approval.
Closing. Reliance First Capital will work with you to determine a time and place for closing that works for you and your schedule.
Reliance assigns you a licensed mortgage analyst, who is your main point of contact throughout the mortgage process. You will also have an assigned loan processor, who will stay with you throughout the application process. They will communicate with you through the web portal or via email or phone, depending on your personal preference.
