Find answers to some of our most common questions about mortgages, purchasing a home, or refinancing.

What is the difference between broker & banker?

A broker has the ability to shop for the best loan through a variety of lending sources, whereas a banker is limited to just a few different loan options available through the bank.

Do I need a large down payment to purchase a home?

Not necessarily, there are many types of loans that have different requirements for down payments. Some loans offer low percentages and others even offer zero down payment.

How much will it cost to save money with refinancing?

At first, it will cost a small amount of money but that cost will be eliminated over the course of your loan by taking advantage of historic low interest rates. Additionally, in some cases, we can provide you with up to $2,000 cash-back to help cover unexpected costs or manage bills AND you can skip up to two months of house payments.
