At The Polder Group at CrossCountry Mortgage, we're committed to helping homebuyers and homeowners throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona move through the mortgage process as efficiently as possible. Depending on your loan scenario and eligibility, many borrowers may be able to close in as few as 21 days.*
Think about everything you can accomplish in three weeks—a road trip across the country, finishing a new TV series, or reaching a personal fitness goal.
You could also be settling into your new home or enjoying the benefits of a refinanced mortgage.
A faster closing can help reduce stress, provide greater certainty during the homebuying process, and get you into your home sooner. While every loan is unique, an organized and proactive process helps keep everything moving forward.

Once all underwriting conditions have been satisfied, your loan receives a Clear to Close (CTC).
Our closing team coordinates with all parties to prepare your final loan documents and schedule your closing appointment.
