How It Works

A clear, guided path from first hello to your keys — with real advisors and a portal that keeps you in the loop the whole way.

1

Share your goal

A quick, no-pressure conversation. Tell us what you’re trying to do — buy, refinance, or invest — and we’ll listen first.

2

Get pre-approved

We review your details and verify your info, then match you to the right program and issue a pre-approval — often within 24 hours.

3

Find your home & apply

Shop with confidence. When you’re ready, complete your application securely and upload documents in your Client Portal.

4

Processing & underwriting

Our in-house team drives your file — ordering the appraisal, clearing conditions, and keeping everything moving. You watch each milestone live.

5

Clear to close

Final approval. We review your closing numbers with you so there are no surprises at the table.

6

Close & celebrate

Sign, get your keys, and start your next chapter. We’re here for whatever comes next.

Good to know

Common questions

Less than you might think. Conventional loans can go as low as 3% down, FHA as low as 3.5%, and VA and USDA offer 0%-down options for those who qualify. We’ll walk you through every path in a free consultation.

Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on information you share. Pre-approval is a verified commitment based on documentation — it makes your offer far stronger. We can get you pre-approved in as little as 24 hours.

No. Getting a rate estimate uses a soft credit check that does not affect your score. A hard inquiry only happens later, with your permission, when you formally apply.

Our average is about 22 days from application to close, though timelines vary by loan type and how quickly documents come together. You’ll track every milestone in your Client Portal.

Absolutely. Our DSCR program lets real-estate investors qualify on a property’s cash flow rather than tax returns, and we have flexible options for self-employed borrowers.

We’re licensed in a growing list of states. Reach out and we’ll confirm availability for your area right away.
