Step #1

Schedule a meeting, call, or Zoom > This is the way I like to start as I'm able to answer questions and learn more about what you want to do, but honestly it's totally optional in todays world. Many prefer to just dive in fill out an application, round up the documents, and communicate via email and text. If that's you, skip to Step #2. If you want to set up a call or Zoom below is a link to my calendar. Just click on it and pick out a time/day that works for you. Below that are the things I'll learn during our call/Zoom, plus answer any questions you have. CLICK HERE to go to my calendar and pick out a time/day that works for you to schedule a call or Zoom, or just CLICK HERE to email me:

​

• What do you want to do?

• What is your timeframe?

• What does your income look like?

• What are your monthly debt payments?

• How much do you have for a down payment?

• What do you want your payment to be?

• How is your credit?

​​

Step #2

Fill out an application > This should take you 20 minutes or so. Once you do this I do a SOFT PULL on credit (no impact to your credit score) and with the documents provided (Step #3) can quickly figure out what you can afford and get you pre-approved. CLICK HERE to fill out the application.

Round up and provide supporting documents > Below are the documents I'll likely need to get you pre-approved.

All documents can be uploaded securely at the very end of filling out the application:

Step #4

Other Financing Considerations:

• Are you looking to buy before selling your departing home? I have several Bridge Loan options that can allow you to access some of your departing homes equity to help with the down payment on your new home and pay off other debts so you can qualify.

• Do you need help with the down payment? I've got down payment assistance programs that might be able to help you with some or all of the down payment. We also have affordable loan options to help lower income and first time homebuyers more easily afford to buy.
