APPLY FOR A MORTGAGE

When you're ready to apply for that mortgage, we're here to help. GCF offers an array of mortgage products for qualified homeowners.

FIXED RATE MORTGAGE: The interest rate will remain the same throughout the term for the original borrower. Check out our competitive rates!

AFFORDABLE HOUSING & FIRST TIME HOME BUYER: If neither you nor your co-applicant have ever owned a home, you just might qualify for this special no-points mortgage. You can borrow up to 95% of the sale price or the appraised value, whichever is less. Private Mortgage Insurance will be required until your principal balance reaches 80% of the appraised value. You'll need adequate income, held your current jobs for at least two years and have excellent credit to qualify. Good records of your savings and checking accounts for a least one year will make a homeowner out of you!

HOME EQUITY LOAN: Convert the equity in your home into cash with this fixed rate loan. You may borrow up to 80% of the appraised value less any outstanding balance of your first mortgage.

This fee may range from $36.00 to $126.50 based on county and state where the property is located. New Jersey residents closing outside of a GCF branch office will be charged a closing fee of $150.00.

Once we receive your application we will mail out initial disclosures for you to sign and return to GCF. We will review your application to insure you meet the bank’s criteria for a conditional approval which will be subject to verification of income, assets and property evaluation. Upon verification of these items, we will issue a mortgage commitment. Please sign and return the commitment letter to GCF Bank.

Purchasing a home: We need a copy of the executed agreement of sale along with your application.

Note: An Application Fee of $395.00 is required.

After you receive your commitment contact GCF to begin the settlement process. You will be asked to choose a title company or attorney to complete your mortgage transaction.

We'll need to keep a few documents in your mortgage file such as:

The MORTGAGE. A mortgage is a lien that is filed against the property to secure the debt.
The NOTE. A note is a written promise to pay a certain sum of money at a certain time.
The SURVEY, prepared by a registered land surveyor. It is a measurement of land, showing the location of the land with reference to known points, its dimensions, and the location and dimensions of any buildings.
The attorney or the title company will be ordering a TITLE, (a document that shows evidence of your ownership of the property), TITLE SEARCH (a document that gives evidence of your ownership of the property) and TITLE INSURANCE, a policy which insures a home buyer against errors in the title search. The cost of the policy is usually based on the value of the home and paid for by the purchaser.
