Frequently Asked Questions

That depends on several factors like your income, existing debt, credit score, and how much you have for a down payment. I can run a pre-qualification or pre-approval to give you a reliable estimate based on your full financial picture.

Your monthly payment includes principal, interest, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and possibly mortgage insurance or HOA dues. I’ll prepare a detailed estimate for the homes and loan types you're considering so you can plan with confidence.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer—it depends on your goals, credit, income, and how long you plan to stay in the home. I’ll help you compare loan options like conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA and explain the pros and cons of each for your situation.

That varies by loan program. For example:

Conventional: as little as 3%

FHA: 3.5%

VA/USDA: 0% (if eligible)

I can also connect you with down payment assistance programs if you qualify.

Interest rates are based on market conditions and factors like your credit score, loan type, loan amount, and down payment. I’ll provide current rates and explain how locking or floating a rate works so you can make the most informed decision.

Pre-qualification is an informal estimate based on information you provide.

Pre-approval is a more solid commitment based on verified financial documents and a credit check.

Sellers typically prefer pre-approval because it shows you're a serious and qualified buyer.

Commonly required documents include:

Pay stubs (last 30 days)

W-2s and/or 1099s (last 2 years)

Tax returns (last 2 years)

Bank statements (last 2 months)

ID and Social Security card

I’ll give you a complete checklist tailored to your loan type.

Yes! Depending on your income, location, and other factors, you might qualify for grants, reduced interest rates, or assistance with down payment and closing costs. I’ll walk you through what’s available in your area and help you apply.

Closing costs typically range from 2%–5% of the home’s purchase price. These cover lender fees, appraisal, title insurance, escrow, and more. I’ll provide a Loan Estimate early in the process so there are no surprises.

On average, from application to closing takes about 25 to 30 days, though it can vary based on the complexity of the loan, responsiveness, and appraisal timelines. I’ll keep you updated every step of the way to ensure a smooth process.
