Should I start with a loan officer or a realtor?

Getting pre-qualified before you begin house hunting allows you to know how much house you can realistically afford. Your Loan Officer will help you decide which loan program best fits your situation.  Additionally, having a letter of pre-qualification may shorten the time between contract to close when you’ve found “the one”. You’ll be a few steps ahead of the game already. Not to mention, it may give you the upper-hand when negotiating the price, or if there are multiple offers on the table. It shows you are a serious, qualified buyer.   So, start with us, and then we can refer a Realtor to you or work with yours to make your home shopping experience efficient.

Can I buy a home with 0% down?

You rarely need a 20% down payment. There are many programs that will work with 5%, 3.5%, and even 0% down. There are also programs to assist with down payment and closing cost expenses.

Why would I put 20% down on a home?

If you’re a home buyer with a lot of money saved in the bank, making the biggest down payment possible can be sensible. This is because, with a large down payment, your loan size shrinks, reducing the size of your monthly payment. You can also eliminate private mortgage insurance required on loans with less than 20% down.

What is the difference between pre-approved and pre-qualified?

A pre-qualification informally determines the maximum amount you are eligible to borrow. You’ll supply an overview of your financial history to the lender, including income, assets, debts, and credit score. It’s not a guarantee of a loan, but it’s a great idea to get one before you start looking at homes to know how much you can afford. Also, when it comes time to make an offer, you’ll have what you need to give sellers confidence that you’ll be approved for a loan.  A pre-approval is similar, but it usually requires documentation and verification proving your income, assets, and debts, as well as a credit check.

Still have questions?

That's OK! We'll connect you to the right loan officer to help navigate your home loan experience, simplify the process and meet your financial goals.
