Is it typical to still not...?

Question

have final approval from the underwriter a week before the closing date? We have the appraisal and title work completed, as well as homeowners insurance policy, but our loan officer has yet to hear the final ok from the underwriter. He says everything is fine, but I am concerned. We were pre approved for the loan, does that mean it's going through? I have one week to get all my things packed up, but I'm afraid to pack up without hearing from the underwriter. This is our first time buying so I'm not sure if this is usually how it goes or not.

Answer 1

Answer 2
