    To qualify for Same Day Approval, applicants must:

    • Submit all Required Documents via McGowan Mortgages' secure online portal within the Required Tasks Completion Period.

  4. Loan Approval & Closing Timeline

    Upon meeting eligibility requirements and submitting all Required Documents, McGowan Mortgages will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a loan approval within one business day. However, approval is not guaranteed, and additional documentation or conditions may be required before final loan approval.

    Once approved, borrowers may be able to close in as few as 10 days, but actual closing timelines may vary based on lender, title company, appraisal, and other required third-party processes.

PURCHASE YOUR HOME WITH MCGOWAN MORTAGE 💞💞I had the best experience ever working with the the staff of McGowan Mortgage ,I built the best relationship through text messages,emails and phone calls Kammi was amazing but when Mr. Derek stepped in it he completed the task himself it was an awesome experience and I recommend this company to everyone in the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️
They made the whole process super easy and I was able to close quick with a low interest rate. I will definitely use them again for my next home and refinancing.
We loved working with McGowan! It was our first time buying a house, and we were so overwhelemed. They were supportive the whole way through and patient explaining everything so we could make the best decisions on our loan choice, how much to put down, saving for closing, etc. Very responsive and could tell genuily care. :)
Derek and his team worked tirelessly to get us approved and into our new house, all around the clock. We have worked with several other lenders and can confidently say that the McGowan group far exceeded our expectations. They listened, explained, and walked us through every step. I would recommend McGowan Mortgages 100% with no hesitation to anyone thinking about buying a home. Their level of expertise, especially in this market, will make the difference in securing the house of your dreams with rates you can afford or having made the biggest mistake of your life. I will always come back and know that they are there for my family and I, with any questions we have. I can’t thank the McGowan team enough for their professionalism and dedication to our family during a difficult process made easy.
My Team was fast and very flexible. I appreciate them helping us with our first DSCR Loan. 10/10
The team was phenomenal to work with and extremely helpful every step of the way. I recommend them to anyone purchasing or refinance their home.
McGowan Mortgage was outstanding for both my primary home purchase and an investment property. Their speed was exceptional—everything moved efficiently without ever feeling rushed. The team’s knowledge was clear at every step, from structuring the loans to explaining options in a way that actually made sense. Most impressive was the communication: proactive, responsive, and transparent throughout the entire process. I always knew where things stood and what was coming next. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend McGowan Mortgage to anyone looking for a smooth, professional mortgage experience.
Derek and his team go above and beyond to help. I couldn't be happier with the service I received. There was always someone to answer my questions and guide me through. I will be recommending them to everyone I know! Thank you again!
Fantastic company with a knowledgeable and supportive team. Great processes, clear communication, and a strong commitment to quality. Highly recommend!
THE BEST!
I am very grateful with McGowan Mortgages, they helped me to get the mortgage for my new house last year, especially when most banks told me it was too difficult or even impossible because I am a self employed, McGowan made simple and possible, I truly recommend them.
There team is great they worked together to get my heloc funded in 9 days, when I was on a time crunch!!
If you want a mortgage lender who is responsive, sharp, honest, and relentless, Max Disser is the guy. We purchased our home in November 2024, and since this was my first home purchase, I expected the process to be stressful and confusing. On top of that, we used a VA loan, which can come with extra steps and specific requirements. Max handled everything like a total professional and made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and completely manageable. He communicated clearly, stayed ahead of deadlines, and always made sure I understood what was happening at every stage. Anytime I had a question, Max responded quickly and confidently, and I never felt left in the dark. What really stood out was how knowledgeable he was with the VA loan process and how well he worked with me as a veteran. He didn’t just “process a loan” — he genuinely cared and made sure I was taken care of from start to finish. If you’re a first-time buyer or a veteran looking to use your VA benefits, I highly recommend Max Disser and the McGowan Mortgages team.
Derek and his team worked to find a tailored solution for my circumstance. Responsive and detailed team that will work to find the best product that meets your goals. I would highly recommend this company!
Derek has a great team, and while the process wasn't without hiccups, his team was great to work with and helped every step of the way.
Derek got us set up and approved fast so we could put in offers on homes quickly. We got our place and the experience was great. Also during the process as questions or concerns came up he answered quickly and was very professional . We look forward to working with Derek and the McGowan team for future investments.
I have never met a group of people who are experienced when it comes to home buying. It was my first time purchasing a home. I didn't know how to start the home buying process. I was introduced to Tiana, Jessica, Derek and their team who stood up with me and my daughter from the beginning to the end. We were in our house in a timely manner. We will like to say thanks to Derek and his team. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good help when needed all through the processes
Cindy initially reached out to me, and then Julie followed up to help me see where I stand with buying a home since I’m looking into it for next year. She gave me a clear plan moving forward, and I really appreciate that it didn’t feel pushy at all. McGowan Mortgages truly seem like they care more about their customers than just pushing out numbers, and I’m excited to use them next year when I’m ready.
Cyndy, Missy and Derek were all very helpful, got us a great deal, lowered our closing costs and were so very professional and courteous. We appreciate all the energy and time. Thank you so much.

Thank you guys for everything you guys did to help me get my wife and I our first house.
I am currently working with McGowan Mortgages on my refinance, and the experience has been wonderful so far. Even though I’ve run into a few hiccups with my situation, Fidel has been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the process. With my busy schedule, I sometimes can’t respond right away, but their team always checks in with me and keeps me motivated to stay on track. Those reminders make a huge difference for someone like me. I was recommended to McGowan Mortgages by my friend Julie, who helped me get started with my refinance application, and I’m so glad she did. Everyone on the team has been wonderful, professional, and committed to making the process as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!
my daughter referred me to mcgowan mortgage and the process has been great! I have been starting up my process with Julie and she has made this all a breeze! very grateful to have someone so helpful.
