Buying a home is one of life's most important moments
The path to homeownership
Buying a home involves several key steps, and we guide you through each one. Understanding the process helps you feel confident in your decisions and prepared for what comes next.
-
Get pre-qualified
Before you start shopping, know what you can afford. We review your financial picture and give you a clear understanding of your borrowing capacity. This puts you in a stronger position with sellers and helps you focus on homes that make sense for your budget.
-
Find your home and make an offer
Work with a real estate agent to explore neighborhoods and properties that match your vision. Once you find the right home, we'll support your offer with pre-qualification documentation. Our process moves quickly so your offer stays competitive.
-
Finalize your mortgage and close
After your offer is accepted, we handle the mortgage application, appraisal, and underwriting. We keep you informed throughout and prepare you for closing day. At closing, you'll sign the final documents and receive the keys to your new home.
Our loan products
We offer a variety of mortgage programs designed to meet different financial situations and goals. Each product can be tailored to your needs. Our lending team will discuss which option aligns best with your down payment, timeline, and long-term plans.
-
Conventional mortgages
Traditional mortgages for borrowers with established credit and a down payment. These loans offer flexibility in terms and are a popular choice for homebuyers who meet standard lending criteria. We offer a range of term lengths to match your financial goals.
-
FHA-backed mortgages
Government-backed loans designed to make homeownership accessible to more borrowers. FHA mortgages allow for lower down payments and more flexible credit requirements, making them ideal for first-time buyers or those rebuilding credit.
-
USDA and VA mortgages
Specialized programs for eligible rural borrowers and veterans. USDA loans support homeownership in qualifying areas with favorable terms. VA loans honor the service of military members with distinct benefits and features designed for veteran borrowers.
Buying a home, answered
Homebuying raises many questions. We've addressed the most common ones here. If you don't find what you're looking for, our lending team is ready to discuss your specific situation.
How much do I need to save for a down payment?
Down payment requirements vary by loan program. Conventional mortgages often require 5 to 20 percent of the home's purchase price, though some programs accept lower percentages. FHA loans typically require 3.5 percent down. VA and USDA loans may allow zero-down options for eligible borrowers. We'll discuss your savings and goals to find a program that works for you.
What credit score do I need to qualify?
Different loan programs have different credit requirements. Conventional mortgages typically favor scores of 620 or higher, though we consider borrowers with lower scores depending on other financial factors. FHA loans are more flexible with credit history. Rather than focusing on a single number, we evaluate your full financial picture. If your credit needs work, we can discuss rebuilding strategies and timelines that support your homeownership goals.
How long does the mortgage process take?
From application to closing typically takes 30 to 45 days, though timelines vary based on completeness of documentation and appraisal schedules. We work to move as quickly as possible without sacrificing thoroughness. We'll give you a clear timeline when you apply and keep you updated throughout each stage. Factors like property type and loan program may affect the overall timeline.
