After we discuss your financing objectives, we will provide you with a list of the documents necessary to begin the process.

You can also send your documents in any manner that you feel comfortable with.
You will receive an immediate savings of up to $1,690 which is in the form of a lender credit. That amount is the everyday fee for processing and underwriting a loan but you will not be responsible for that. Cardinal Financial will credit the appraisal fee of $495 at closing. You will be given a detailed Loan Quote outlining all costs so there are no surprises and you go to the closing table prepared. There are additional services that can save you even more which your dedicated loan officer will explain to you. Remember to let your family know they are eligible to receive these discounts too!
Cardinal Financial offers a wide variety of home financing programs including but not limited to conventional loans, jumbo loans, FHA, USDA, and VA loans. We also offer disaster relief home financing, construction loans, manufactured home loans and more. Don’t forget – we can provide mortgages in all 50 states. So wherever you go, you can take us with you! We are a direct lender, not a broker, so you save a lot of time and money going straight to the financing source. We will provide you with a competitive rate, loan program options, and all the details you need to move forward confidently. We will gladly work with any real estate agents, attorneys, settlement agents, etc. that you may already have a business relationship with.
Great question! There are many and here’s just a few: We offer a commitment program that gives you a significant buyer’s advantage and gets you to the front of the line as a ready and capable buyer. We offer a “second look” to any pre-approvals you may have received from other banks, credit unions or other lenders. We will let you know if you have a good deal or if we can do better to save you money in the long run.
