Why Do Mortgage Lenders Do Verbal Verification of Employment?

A mortgage lender will verify your employment by contacting your employer directly and possibly reviewing recent income documentation. Typically, the verification is obtained when the lender calls the employer to discover the necessary information. The lender will verify your salary details, position, length of employment, and the likelihood of your employment to continue. All these particulars let lenders calculate several metrics to determine if the borrower will repay a loan in full and one time.

The lenders have to comb through your finances to decide if you are a good candidate for a mortgage accessing your default risk, chances of missing a mortgage payment, or being foreclosed upon. A Verbal Verification of Employment Form allows the lender to see you have consistently been employed and will maintain employment to ensure timely mortgage payments in the future.
