FAQ

If you don't see an answer to your question, you can message us or call.

Most loan programs require a credit score of at least 620, but there are options for lower scores. Let’s see what’s possible for you!

Many people think you need 20%, but that’s a myth! You can buy a home with as little as 3% down with conventional loans—or even 0% with DPA, VA, or USDA loans.

The process is simple! Applying online takes around 10 minutes, you'll provide some basic financial info, and I’ll help you understand your buying power.

Waiting for rates to drop can be risky—home prices may keep rising. The right time to buy is when it makes sense for you. We can explore options like seller credits for rate buydowns or shorter loan terms to help with affordability. And if rates drop in the future, refinancing is always an option.

Refinancing can lower your monthly payment, shorten your loan term, or help you tap into your home equity. A quick review of your loan can show if it's a smart move for you.

Yes! I’ll help you find the best loan options for your situation.

Evan processed a super quick closing ~2.5 weeks, locked in an amazing rate, was always quick to respond, and constantly provided updates on each process. Have purchased 5 homes over the last 20 years and Evan was by far the best.”

Evan got us funded for an amazing new home and we were able to close before we could even get started with packing. He listened to our needs, met all of our requests, and continues to support us with any questions, even though our closing has been completed. I can't recommend anyone more than Evan"
