Common questions about home loans

How much house can I afford?

It depends on your income, debts, and overall financial goals - not just a number. We’ll help you understand what’s comfortable for you.

What does pre-approval actually mean?

Pre-approval is a more in-depth review of your finances that shows sellers you’re a serious buyer.

How much do I need for a down payment?

Most conventional loans require: Most conventional loans require as little as 3% down for qualified first-time homebuyers and 5% down for many other conventional purchases.

What’s the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?

Pre-qualification is a quick estimate. Pre-approval is a verified step that strengthens your offer.

How long does the process take?

Most purchases take 30–45 days, though timelines can vary depending on your situation.

Can I buy and sell at the same time?

Yes - and planning is key. We can walk through options like contingent offers, bridge strategies, and timing.

What if I’m self-employed or have variable income?

There are flexible options available. We’ll help you understand how your income can be evaluated.
