Good questions

Frequently asked

How much do I need for a down payment?

Often less than people expect. Many buyers put down far less than 20%, and some programs allow very little down. The right answer depends on your goals — let’s map it to your situation.

What credit score do I need?

There’s more flexibility than you might think, with programs for a range of credit profiles. If you’re unsure where you stand, a quick, no-obligation review will tell you.

Should I get pre-approved before I start looking?

Yes. A pre-approval shows you a realistic budget and tells sellers you’re serious — often the difference between an accepted offer and a missed home.

How long does the whole process take?

Most purchases move from application to closing in a matter of weeks. Being prepared — documents ready, questions answered early — is what keeps it smooth.

Can you help if I’m self-employed?

Absolutely. There are loan options built for self-employed borrowers and non-traditional income. Let’s talk through what fits you.

What does it cost to work with you?

An initial consultation is always free, and I’ll be upfront about everything involved before you commit to anything.
