UMe confirms the balance, rate, and assumability of each listing with the listing agent before marking it Certified. FHA, VA, and USDA loans are assumable by law, and you do not need to be a veteran to assume a VA loan. Once you are under contract, the loan servicer underwrites you rather than a new lender; most Signal Hill assumptions close in 45 to 90 days, and UMe tracks the file with the servicer and both agents so nothing stalls.
