Getting a mortgage loan involves four major steps.

Step one: Decide how much you can afford

This is a function of a couple things. What kind of monthly payment are you looking for? What is the maximum you can borrow from a lender, given your income and credit history? You can get a good idea of your preferred payment abount using the calculators on our website. We'll also help you through different scenarios by asking a few simple questions. Because lender guidelines are fairly standard, we can give you a good idea of how much you can borrow after a short conversation.

Step two: pre-qualify for your loan

This is where the process really begins and you save the most money. You will provide info on your current job, your assets, and residence history. You'll provide your employment, asset, and residence history information. We get your permission to run your credit score and report. We will go over this information and will give you a pre-qualification letter. Be careful with this letter — it is a useful tool when you make your offer! With this letter, your real estate agent will negotiate the best deal for your new home. While you're shopping for your new home, we are researching the best loan program for you.

Step three: apply now! We make it easy

Once you have made an offer and the sellers accept it, you should apply for the loan. It's very easy, and you can apply online, right here on our site. When the time is right, we will order the appraisal of your new home.
