Can I switch jobs during the mortgage process?

It's risky. A job change can delay or jeopardize your loan because lenders re-verify employment before closing and want stable, continuing income. A move within the same field, especially a promotion, is usually fine.

A switch to a different field, a pay structure change to commission, or a gap can be a problem. Tell us before you make a move and we'll protect the approval.
