Home Loans the SUCCESS® Way

FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS

How exciting it is to buy your first home. I’ll help you, along with an outstanding support team, navigate the home loan process so you have the very best experience and learn about your homeownership options.

CONVENTIONAL

Conventional loans allow for 3% down and typically are fixed in terms and rate. Usually, a good-to-great credit score is needed to get the lower rates featured with Conventional loans. (Mortgage insurance may be required on loans greater than 80% LTV and will increase your monthly payment).

FHA

FHA loans feature down payments as low as 3.5, low closing costs, and easier credit qualifications. Great for first time homebuyers! (Mortgage insurance may be required on loans greater than 80% LTV and will increase your monthly payment).

VA

VA loans are for those who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. We are honored to serve you!

JUMBO

Go big or go…home! A jumbo loan can go up to seven figures, which works if you’re buying in a high-cost area or if you just want to go big.

USDA

Living in a rural-zoned area has its perks. Zero down, lower PMI, and competitive interest rate could help you down that country road.
