Frequently Asked Questions

What type of home loans do you offer?

We offer Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, Jumbo, refinance options, and reverse mortgages. Our team will help you choose the loan program that best fits your goals and financial situation.

How do I get pre-approved for a home loan?

You can start by completing our secure online application or reaching out to us directly. We’ll review your finances and provide a pre-approval letter to help strengthen your offer when shopping for a home.

What documents do I need to apply?

Typically, you’ll need recent pay stubs, W-2s or tax returns, bank statements, and a valid ID. If you’re self-employed, additional documentation may be required. We’ll walk you through it step-by-step.

Should I find a house first or apply for a mortgage first?

We recommend applying first. A pre-approval tells you exactly what you qualify for and helps you shop with confidence. Once you find the right home, you're already ahead of the process — and sellers are more likely to accept your offer.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Down payments vary by loan program — some programs allow as little as 3% down, and VA loans may require no down payment for eligible borrowers. We'll help you determine what’s right for you.

What’s the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is an estimate based on self-reported info. Pre-approval verifies your income, credit, and finances — giving you stronger buying power. We recommend getting pre-approved first.

Do you work with first-time homebuyers?

Yes! We love guiding first-time buyers. We’ll help you understand your options, available programs, and the full loan process from start to finish.

What are closing costs and what should I expect?

Closing costs typically range from 2%–5% of the home price and include lender fees, title, appraisal, and other services. We’ll review everything with you so there are no surprises.

How long does the mortgage process take?

Most loans close in about 25–30 days, depending on the loan type and documentation. We keep communication clear to help you close on time.

Can I refinance my current mortgage with you?

Yes. Whether you want a better rate, a lower payment, or to access equity, we’ll help you explore refinancing options and see if it makes financial sense.
