Whether you're buying your first home, making your next move or refinancing the home you love, we're here to help make the process simpler.

Whether you’re buying a new home or remodeling the one you already have, we’ve got you covered. With a variety of mortgage options and a team ready to help, we’ll make your journey convenient, affordable, and built around you.

A construction loan provides financing to cover the costs of building a new home, including land, materials and labor. Funds are typically distributed to the builder in stages as construction progresses. Depending on the loan, the construction financing may convert to a permanent mortgage once the home is complete. Requirements vary, so our mortgage team can help you understand your options and what you’ll need to get started.

You’re likely asking yourself, “How much mortgage can I afford based on my income?” or “What mortgage can I afford given my current financial situation?” The answer depends on several factors, including your income, expenses, and financial goals. It’s essential to know if the monthly payments on a mortgage will fit comfortably within your budget. A mortgage affordability calculator can help you determine that.

FAQ

Credit scores play an important role when borrowing money. The higher your score, the lower your rate.

Worried your credit score isn’t great? It’s still worth talking with us! We have great tips on how to move forward and improve your score for future investments.

If you’re purchasing or refinancing a home, an appraisal is typically required, however, some borrowers may qualify for an appraisal waiver. An appraisal may not be necessary for home equity loans.

Every loan is different, but the process can take several weeks from application to closing. Providing requested documents promptly can help keep things moving.

It depends on the loan program. Some mortgages may require as little as 3% down, while other programs may have different requirements. Our mortgage team can help you find an option that fits your situation.

You may need information such as proof of income, employment history, bank statements and identification. Your mortgage team will let you know exactly what is needed for your application.

Closing costs are expenses associated with completing your mortgage and purchasing your home. They can include things like appraisal fees, title costs and other fees related to the loan and closing.

Absolutely. There are mortgage programs designed specifically to help first-time home buyers, including options that may offer lower down payments or assistance with upfront costs.

Mortgage insurance may be required on some loans, particularly when you make a smaller down payment. It helps protect the lender and may be part of your monthly mortgage payment.

Depending on the loan program, you may have options for financing improvements or renovations to your home. Talk with our mortgage team about what options may be available.

Your monthly payment may include principal and interest, along with amounts for property taxes, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance when applicable.

Getting preapproved can be a helpful first step. It gives you a better idea of what you may be able to afford and can help you shop with greater confidence.

In many cases, yes. However, loan terms can vary, so it’s a good idea to review your specific loan before making additional payments or paying it off early.

Once you apply, your mortgage team will review your financial information, verify documentation and work through the loan approval process. They’ll keep you informed and guide you through the steps leading up to closing.

It’s best to avoid opening new credit accounts or taking on additional debt while your mortgage is being processed. New credit can affect your credit score and debt-to-income ratio, which could impact your loan approval or terms. When in doubt, check with your mortgage team before making any major financial changes.
