SunWest supports you through the entire process—from application to closing—helping you review documents and move through each step with clarity.
Who underwrites and services my mortgage?
Your loan is underwritten through our partner, Member First Mortgage. After closing, your loan may be transferred to another lender for servicing.
What documents will I need to provide during the application process?
You’ll typically need income verification (like pay stubs or tax returns), proof of homeowner’s insurance, and any payoff statements if applicable.

You’ll have access to a secure portal to track your application status. You can also connect with a SunWest Mortgage Representative anytime at 602.866.1129.
How do I make my mortgage payments?
After your loan closes, you’ll receive a welcome packet from your lender with instructions to set up payments. If you don’t receive it within 30 days, contact us at 602.866.1129.
Who do I contact if I have questions after closing?
