Having said this, as a mortgage broker, we can offer jumbo loans with more straightforward qualifying guidelines, and we can close jumbo loans in as little as 15 days.  Most big banks and credit unions have difficulty closing quickly, and their guidelines will undoubtedly be tighter. (lower debt-to-income ratio requirements, higher reserve requirements…etc.)
