🏡 Mortgage Term of the Week: VOE
VOE stands for Verification of Employment.
As part of the mortgage process, lenders verify your employment and income to make sure the information on your application is accurate. This may happen early in the process, before closing, or sometimes both.
A lot of borrowers are surprised to learn that changing jobs, reducing hours, or switching from employee to self-employed status during the loan process can affect a mortgage application.
That's why it's always a good idea to talk with your lender before making any major employment changes while you're buying a home.
