Underwriting

A lender’s process of verifying income, assets, credit, and property value before approving a loan.

Underwriting is where pre-approval becomes an actual commitment — documentation gets checked line by line. Large, unexplained deposits or new debt during underwriting are the classic ways to derail a closing.
