Home purchase

Let's get you into your next home

Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you'll make, and the right loan makes all the difference. Whether it's your first home, your forever home, or a step up, we'll help you find a loan that fits your budget and your plans, and we'll keep you informed from pre-approval to closing day.

Start with a strong pre-approval

A pre-approval tells sellers you're a serious buyer. We review your credit, income, and assets up front, so your pre-approval letter carries real weight when you make an offer. It also helps you shop with confidence because you'll know your price range before you fall in love with a home.

Tips for a smooth purchase

  • Hold off on new credit. Avoid opening new credit cards or financing a car until after closing.
  • Keep your money where it is. Large, unexplained deposits or transfers can slow things down.
  • Buying a condo? Send us the complex name early. Some loan types require the building to be approved.
  • Ask about insurance early. Homeowners insurance can take time to secure in some areas.

Frequently asked questions

Is a pre-approval the same as a loan approval?
Not quite. A pre-approval shows sellers you've been reviewed and are likely to qualify. Final approval comes after we review the home and your complete application.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends on the loan. Some programs allow as little as 0%-3.5% down. We'll help you find the option that fits your savings.
Should I choose FHA because the down payment is lower?
Not always. Depending on your credit, a conventional loan may cost less overall. We'll compare them for you.
Can you work with my real estate agent?
Absolutely. We'll keep your agent updated so everyone stays on the same page.
