Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rate lock?

A rate lock is your guaranteed interest rate on a loan while you shop for a home. It covers four key pieces—the loan type, interest rate, any points you pay, and how long the lock lasts. It keeps your rate steady and protects you from market changes while you finalize your purchase.

When's the right time to refinance?

You might refinance to lower your rate, shorten your term, switch from an adjustable to a fixed loan, or consolidate debt. A good rule of thumb: calculate the total cost of the refinance and divide it by the monthly savings—that’s your break-even point. If you plan to stay in the home past that date, refinancing likely makes sense.

What's a fully documented loan?

That just means you’re showing your full financial picture—income, assets, and employment. We verify bank statements, pay stubs, and W-2s to confirm your ability to repay. It’s the most traditional, reliable loan method and gives lenders confidence in your application.

What is a loan estimate?

Within three business days of your application, we’ll send you a loan estimate. It’s a detailed breakdown of your anticipated closing costs, interest rate, and monthly payment. It makes everything transparent, so you know exactly what you’re looking at before moving forward.

What is a conforming loan?

A conforming loan follows the size and underwriting rules set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac—the big government-backed buyers of mortgages. These loans typically offer competitive rates and are easier to qualify for.

What makes a mortgage "jumbo"?

Anything above the conforming loan limit in your area is considered a jumbo loan. It’s a higher-dollar mortgage that goes beyond Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines. Jumbo loans come with their own terms, so let’s chat if that’s what you need.

I'm here to guide you through the mortgage process with honesty, clarity, and personalized support. Whether you're just starting out or ready to take the next step, don’t hesitate to call, text, or email—I'm always happy to help.
