Has anyone left the firm in the midst of buying a home using Citi private bank mortgage program? I would close right after I’m due to leave. Does this make me ineligible / how’d you go about this?

This is a bad idea regardless of the bank. You’ll have to attest in most states under criminal or amities that you did not do this when you get the mortgage.

You can always disclose and tell the truth, but that might slow down loan timelines and might cause rate hikes.

Yup, the 7 and 10 year arms + the discount for moving your checking there are the most competitive I found.

Is your new firm qualified / approved for the Citi JD mortgage program? I haven’t done this but can’t imagine it’s a big deal if both your firms qualify.

You're fine. Close on the mortgage and move on. Once you're applied and approved, you've checked the box.
