Credit-based insurance scores (discussed in detail below) are based on information in your credit report. The first thing you should know is that if GEICO does obtain a credit-based insurance score as part of calculating your insurance quote, the inquiry is labeled as being from the insurance company.
So how long does it take to clear underwriting and close the deal? An FHA loan can stay in the underwriting stage anywhere from two to six weeks, depending on how many issues come up. If you get a superstar underwriter, your file might clear his desk in a week or less.
If you went with a bank or bank branch they usually take a very long time to close (45-60 days and more). If you went with a mortgage broker, depending on which lender he/she put your through, the underwriting process can vary anywhere from 1 day to 1 week with the whole loan process taking 20-30 days.I once closed a loan (from application to closing) in 4 days :).f you went with a mortgage broker, depending on which lender he/she put your through, the underwriting process can vary anywhere from 1 day to 1 week with the whole loan process taking 20-30 days.
