Loan Programs

Not all mortgages work the same way

When you're shopping for a mortgage, the loan program you choose shapes everything about your borrowing experience—not just the rate, but how much flexibility you have, what your payment looks like, and how the loan behaves over time. Some programs lock in your payment for the full term. Others adjust. Some require a larger down payment upfront; others don't. Some make sense if you're staying put for decades; others work better if your life might change in five or ten years. The right fit depends on your timeline, your comfort with uncertainty, and what feels sustainable for your budget. I'd love to walk you through the options that match your situation.

Let's talk about which loan program makes sense for where you are right now.

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.
