How do I get started?
Call or send us your details. A short conversation about your goals, income and savings is enough for a pre-qualification, usually in about 15 minutes. From there we'll tell you exactly what documents to send for a full pre-approval.
What's the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
A pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on what you tell us. A pre-approval goes further: we review your credit, income and assets in detail, so sellers and agents take your offer more seriously.
What documents should I gather?
Your last 30 days of pay stubs, two years of W-2s (or tax returns if you're self-employed), two months of bank statements, and a photo ID. We'll send a checklist for your exact situation.
How long does it take to close?
Most purchases close in 30 to 45 days from a signed contract, and refinances are often faster. Sending documents quickly and answering lender questions promptly keeps things on schedule.
Will getting pre-approved hurt my credit?
A credit check can lower your score by a few points for a short time. Mortgage checks made within a short shopping window count as one inquiry, so comparing lenders through us won't add up.
