About Taylor-Hanner Team

We are unique because we are seasoned mortgage professionals who have worked together for many years and have been involved in many aspects of the mortgage loan process during our careers. Our experience counts for something, and our clients benefit immensely from our knowledge. We love that we are not limited to just one type of market but that we get to service many clients in various stages of life, from first-time homebuyers to those sizing up to accommodate their growing families and, with those sizing down, getting back to the basics. Whether refinancing, new construction, or various life events, our clientele is diverse, and we thrive on that variety. Words often used to describe our level of service are compassionate, accessible, and genuine. That is on purpose! We work for our home buyers and often walk hand in hand with them throughout the loan process but then serve as a resource for mortgage-related questions down the road. We wouldn't have it any other way. We are your neighborhood experts! We have lived and worked in the Fayette and Coweta County market area for over 25 years, and we have embraced the growth and evolved with the changing real estate needs and challenges. Our lending area encompasses all of Georgia and surrounding states. The needs of today's homebuyers are affordable housing, digital home search tools, mortgage options, and the expertise of a good lender to guide them through the plethora of online information and mortgage loan options that are out there. It can be overwhelming, and finding someone who knows where to start is half the battle. We approach our business by always making ourselves available and responsive. We listen and are attentive to every buyer or refinance because every situation differs, and one size does not fit all. We're creative and look for the right mortgage options for each client based on their current and future home, life, and career plans. It's a long-term purchase that our clients make, and we ensure we've educated them and advised them on the best fit for their family.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Liz Taylor at BankSouth Mortgage on a purchase transaction where I represented the sellers and Liz handled the buyer’s financing. From start to finish, Liz was detail-oriented, thorough, and incredibly professional. Her clear and timely communication helped ensure a smooth and successful closing for everyone involved. It was a seamless experience, and I would gladly work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

I wish I could give Liz more stars! She was everything we needed her to be and more! There are so many huge, life-impacting decisions when it comes to buying a new home. Liz walked alongside us through all of the decisions and thought through all details from multiple angles with us, so that when it came time to make final decisions, we were very confident we made the best choices. She was available to us on the weekends and late at night, which blew us away. I felt like we had a knowledgeable partner and friend by our side. I cannot say enough good things about her and would highly recommend her!

Angela made a very complicated process easy for our family. We are investing in the construction of our new forever home. With that comes a lot of uncertainty along with many new terms and complicated financing terms. Angela answered our call every time and answered our questions with detail that helped us understand every decision we were making along the way. I would highly recommend Angela to anyone looking to build a home.

Mortgages Don’t Have To Be Scary

We’ll make sure you feel comfortable with your choices, confident in your decisions, and informed every step of the way.

What Happens After I Prequalify?

 
PreviousNext

Step 1

Initial Mortgage Consultation

When you begin thinking about buying a home, contact BankSouth Mortgage to get prequalified. A prequalification gives you an estimate of the size of mortgage loan you qualify for based on your credit history, income, and assets. At this time, your mortgage banker will discuss loan options, down payment requirements, and current interest rates. Simply follow this link to securely apply online. This will give your loan officer the preliminary information they need to determine your prequalification. This is also the perfect time to get set up with our electronic portal to make it easier to securely exchange documents and information throughout the mortgage process.

Step 2

Initiate Loan Application

Once you go under contract, we will provide you with an initial list of documentation needed to begin processing your loan. Quickly providing all requested documentation is essential to moving through the loan process without delays. Also, your BankSouth Mortgage expert will discuss locking in your interest rate and encourage you to get a hazard insurance quote from an insurance agent.

Step 3

Disclosures

Once we have a complete application, we will prepare a packet of disclosures for you to sign. Included in these disclosures is the Loan Estimate, which contains information on the cost of your loan. It is very important to review this closely and talk to your loan officer about any questions you may have. Revisions to your loan later on in the process may push your closing date back. It is extremely important for you to sign and return all disclosures within 24 hours from receipt. Any delay with returning your disclosures may delay your closing. Fees for your appraisal will be collected once we have received your disclosures and payment information.

Step 4

Estimated Market Value

Once you have received your Loan Estimate and disclosed your intent to proceed, BankSouth Mortgage will order your title work and appraisal. The appraisal process identifies the market value for the property. These generally take at least 10 days from the date requested to delivery. As soon as we receive the appraisal, we will provide you and your realtor* with a copy.

*We commit to providing timely and accurate information to your realtor when prior authorization is received from you.

Step 5

Loan Processing

Next, the loan moves to a loan processor, who reviews the file to ensure all the proper documentation is included. You may be contacted to provide any outstanding or additional items, and verifications of employment, etc. may be obtained. Once all the requested information is gathered, the loan will be passed on to underwriting so that a final determination can be made. By this point in the process, please try to limit changes to your contract to ensure a smooth closing.

Step 6

Underwriting

An underwriter will investigate the information in the file and make the final decision on the loan approval. Underwriting can take as little as one day and up to two weeks, depending on the type of transaction and market conditions. Because each loan is unique, it is common practice for the underwriter to request additional documentation to support what was submitted in the original file. We will notify you if additional items are needed, as well as when a final decision has been made.

Step 7

Review Your Closing Disclosure

A critical component of the loan process is YOUR confirming receipt by signing the Closing Disclosure (CD) a minimum of 3 business days before closing. This document further reviews the cost of your loan. BankSouth Mortgage makes every effort to send you this document with ample time to review. However, due to the often expedited nature of the mortgage process, you may receive this document close to the third day prior to closing deadline. As soon as you are able to review this document, it is imperative you sign and return it as quickly as possible. Signing only confirms your receipt of the CD. This integral step requires close communication with your lender to ensure an on-time closing.

Step 8

Closing!

Three days after you return your signed Closing Disclosure, you are able to close on your loan! Depending on the amount due at closing, you may need to send a wire to the closing attorney. At the closing, you and the seller will be required to sign the final loan closing documents. After the closing documents are signed, BankSouth Mortgage will wire funds for the amount of the loan to the closing agent. The closing agent will disperse the funds. The deed that transfers the title from the seller to you will be sent to the county in which the home is located to be recorded. You will receive the original deed once it has been recorded along with your owner’s title insurance policy if you purchased insurance at closing.
