Frequently Asked Questions

We are highly relational and educational. We're not a transaction coordinator, we're an advisor; in the trenches with our clients to educate you around your best options and the sharpest financing strategy to help get an offer accepted, and setting you up for success with a rock solid preapproval that means smooth sailing down the road. We're also laser focused in everything residential home finance, and therefore not incentivised to sell you on a handful of other products. The currencies we deal in are crystal clarity, expert advice, and calming guidance.

While some of the documents used to pre-approve will expire, your preapproval doesn’t have an expiration date. It’s good to go as long as your situation stays the same. So assuming you don’t lose your job, take on a bunch of student debt, or finance 3 new Teslas, no need to worry. If you do finance 3 new Teslas, let’s talk about reworking some numbers… and getting a ride-along.

There is a lot of misinformation out there regarding credit scores and credit pulls. We will do a ‘hard pull’ which could ding your score by 5-10 points. However, this should jump right back up to where it was in a few weeks, so absolutely no long-term detrimental effects… just a small temporary dip. If credit is pulled by different kinds of creditors (revolving, installment, mortgage) over a short period of time, the impact to your score could be greater.

We will be considering a whole bevy of loan products and options for you when building your file, that are customized to your specific situation. Whether you’re interested in down payment assistance, VA, Construction, or first-time homebuyer programs, etc. consider us your one stop shop.

Not necessarily! It’s always nice to have the option to put an offer in on a new home “non-contingent” on the sale of your current home, especially when navigating a competitive market. We can utilize tools such as bridge loans and loan recasting to make sure your strategy is dialed in.
