Application Process

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

When you work with us on the mortgage application process, we will help you figure out how much you can afford to pay monthly. This will determine how much your loan amount will be. You need to be prepared to figure out how much funds are available for a down payment and for closing costs.

In the past, applying for a mortgage used to be easy, through simple applications and lenders pulling your credit score. Nowadays, the process for the lender requires much more paperwork, and you need an experienced mortgage specialist to help you be successful through this process.
