Loan Programs

The loan you qualified for might not be your best fit

When you first got approved, you probably received one loan program as your option. But there's a good chance you qualify for several—and some may work better for your situation than others. A conventional loan, an FHA loan, a jumbo product, or an ARM might all be available to you, each with different trade-offs on rate, payment, flexibility, and long-term cost. The right choice depends on your timeline, how much you're putting down, your credit profile, and how long you plan to stay in the home. It's worth revisiting this question before you lock in, especially if your circumstances have changed since your initial application. I'd like to walk you through what's actually available to you and why one program might serve you better than another.

Let's talk about which loan program makes the most sense for your goals.

Tip of the Week

Closing costs typically run 2-5% of the loan amount. Ask your lender for a Loan Estimate so there are no surprises.

Tips for Homeowners

Protecting Yourself from Mortgage Scams

1.

Wire fraud is one of the fastest-growing real estate scams. Never wire closing funds based solely on email instructions — always verify account numbers by calling your title company at a number you look up yourself.

2.

Loan modification and foreclosure rescue scams target homeowners in distress. Legitimate help is available free through HUD-approved counseling agencies at 800-569-4287.

3.

Be wary of unsolicited offers to refinance or cash out equity at terms that sound unusually favorable. If someone contacts you out of the blue, verify their NMLS license number at nmlsconsumeraccess.org.
