Correspondent Closing Procedures
Upon receipt of the “Clear-to-Close”, you may schedule the closing by e-mailing CorrScheduling@afrwholesale.com.
Once the loan is assigned to a Wholesale Scheduler, an e-mail will be sent out to you and the Account Executive with the assigned AFR Closer’s contact information and a confirmation of the scheduled date of closing/signing. The e-mail from the Wholesale Scheduler will request that you provide the assigned Closer with:
- the title company information,
- an e-mail address on where docs should be sent,
- any /all questions or concerns you might have on your closing documents, and
- requests to be cc’d on the documents and/or e-mails that are sent out to title/escrow
The Closer is responsible to communicate the broker and the closing agent. Two e-mails are sent from the Closer at the time closing documents are sent:
- One with the password for retrieval of the docs
- One with the closing package to title/escrow
- One as a conformation e-mail that they have received closing docs, along with additional docs for closing

Important
- All purchases and/or refinances are required to be at title/escrow company within one day prior to the day of the scheduled loan date.
- Broker demand and/or fee sheets are not required. Closing docs are drawn off of the final GFE and any/all invoices that have been submitted to the Account Manager prior to the Clear-to-Close being issued.
- AFR utilizes a 3rd party document prep company in for all mortgages on a subject property in Texas and Louisiana; these loans require 48 hours to generate a closing package.
- All escrow state closings are required to have:
- the closing package returned to AFR prior to funding, and
- an e-mail conformation from the escrow officer to confirm the date that the mortgage is ready to be recorded and funds are ready to be disbursed prior to releasing the wire.
- Contact AFR’s Funding Department at funding@afrmortgage.com for conformation of funds being released.
