Proactive Communication Throughout the Loan Application and Approval Process
Financing a home, especially as a first-time homebuyer, can be a confusing time. And without great communication, it has the potential to be even more confusing. It doesn't have to be!
We learned early on that having consistent, proactive communication is paramount to the success of our service to you, our client, and to making the loan process fun and stress-free. It should be, after all! This is your very first home and one of the biggest purchases you'll ever make.
We'll work with you closely to explain the ins and outs of your loan options, get you pre-qualified to purchase a home, and guide you through the application and approval process.
We'll discuss:
- Your bigger financial picture and home purchase goals - including your income, credit score, debt-to-income ratio, and overall eligibility for financing
- Ideal loan program(s) that align with your needs, goals, and your eligibility
- The loan amount you qualify for
- Current mortgage interest rates and our thoughts on fluctuating market conditions & mortgage rates
- Your down payment and down payment assistance options for the home loan programs you qualify for
- First-time homebuyer financing programs and grants you may be eligible for
- Your monthly mortgage payments
- Private mortgage insurance, or PMI
- Homeowners insurance
- Your closing costs and any closing cost assistance options you may qualify for
- What happens during the appraisal process
- All the documentation you'll need to provide and why (We know it's a lot!)
- Your closing timeline and what to expect
When you work with us, you'll always know where your loan package stands on the way to getting your keys to your new home. We'll keep you and your real estate agent informed throughout the financing process so you're never left wondering where your purchase deal stands.
