Call Your Lender Every Five Days

Why This Matters
Money details can affect offer strength, monthly comfort, cash to close, earnest money, loan approval, and closing timing.
What Most Buyers Don't Know
A buyer can be financially qualified and still run into problems if documents, deposits, lender timing, or credit changes are not handled carefully.
Key Buyer Guidance
- Call Your Lender Every Five Days A great contract can still be damaged by a slow loan file.
- This page gives you a simple rhythm: check in with your lender at least every five days, ask whether underwriting has everything, and tell DUFFY immediately if the loan file is not moving.
- DUFFY Buyer Protection Move Mark this step complete after you have taken the action.
- If anything feels unclear, return to the dashboard and contact DUFFY before guessing.
- This is how the system keeps your money, deadlines, and leverage protected.
Common Mistakes
- Waiting to send DUFFY or the lender updated documents.
- Changing credit, deposits, employment, or debt without asking first.
- Assuming approval means every loan condition is finished.
- Ignoring how fees, credits, and deadlines affect the total deal.
DUFFY Recommendation
Treat money steps as time-sensitive. Keep your lender, DUFFY, and closing team aligned so the contract does not outrun the financing.
Money Risk
Before you move funds, open credit, submit an offer, or wire money, confirm the safest next step.
