A ratified sales contract means both the buyer and the seller have signed off on the final offer. It also acts as a starting point for the loan application interview. The ratified sales contract specifies the amount of your down payment, the price you will pay for the house, the type of mortgage financing you will seek, your proposed closing and occupancy dates, and other contingencies. You will give all this information to your loan officer when you meet to discuss your financing options.
