MORE GUIDANCE
Move forward with the numbers in view.
1 Start with your goals
I’ll start with the home you want, the payment you’re comfortable with and when you’re hoping to move.
2 Prepare to make an offer
I’ll work through your income, credit, debts and available funds so you know what a preapproval needs and what purchase range the numbers support.
3 Shop with support
When a house catches your eye, send me the listing. I can help you look at the estimated payment and cash needed for that particular purchase.
4 Close with clarity
Once you’re under contract, I stay involved as the loan moves through processing and underwriting, and help you understand the closing figures and next steps.
