Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

If you've been shopping around or talking to lenders, you've probably heard terms like fixed-rate, adjustable-rate, FHA, conventional, and VA. They're not just industry jargon—they're fundamentally different products that affect your payment, your risk, and your long-term costs in real ways. The right program for you depends on your timeline, how much stability you want, and what you qualify for. Some borrowers benefit from programs designed to help first-time buyers or those with less-than-perfect credit. Others do better with specialized options. The point is, one-size-fits-all doesn't exist in mortgages. I'd be happy to walk you through which programs actually make sense for your situation.

Let's talk about which loan program fits your goals.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
