How long does it take to get a mortgage?
How long it takes to get a mortgage is 25 to 35 days in Florida, from application to closing. 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.
What keeps you on schedule
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.
