Get Pre-Approved First

A pre-approval shows sellers that you are a serious buyer and tells you how much house you can comfortably afford. We review your finances, explain your options, and provide a clear price range before you start touring homes.

Make an Offer and Lock Your Loan

Once you find the right property, we help you understand what your offer means for your payment and closing costs. Our team coordinates with your agent, the appraiser, and the title company so nothing slips through the cracks.

Close and Get Your Keys

Most loans close in about 15 to 20 days. Throughout that time, we keep you informed, answer questions by phone, email, or text, and help you prepare for a smooth closing day.

Down Payment and Credit Score Questions Answered

Many buyers assume they need perfect credit and a huge down payment. In reality, FHA loans accept credit scores as low as 580 with 3.5% down, while conventional loans typically require a score of 620 or higher. Eligible buyers may qualify for VA or USDA loans with 0% down. Approval always depends on your full financial picture, and we will tell you honestly where you stand.
