How long does it take to get a mortgage?
Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker
From application to closing, most Florida mortgages take 25 to 35 days. A complete file with prompt document delivery and a quick appraisal closes on the faster end.
Pre-approval can happen the same day. Delays usually trace to missing documents or a slow appraisal. We front-load the work and order the appraisal early to hit your contract date.
The full timeline
From application to keys, a mortgage usually takes 30 to 45 days. Pre-approval happens in a day or two. Then the appraisal, underwriting, and closing prep fill out the rest of the window.
A cash-tight market or a rush closing can shorten it, and a complex file can stretch it. Most of our Florida buyers land near the 30-day mark.

Fast document responses are the single biggest factor. Send what we ask for the same day, and avoid new credit or job changes during the process.
