Whether you are looking to buy your first home, upgrade or relocate to a new one, borrow against the equity or refinance your existing mortgage - with me you have over 37 years of mortgage loan experience at your service. I will be with you from start to finish, from taking your application to closing your loan.

First Time Homebuyers

It couldn’t be any easier for first time buyers with free pre-qualifications and low closing costs. We have special programs for first time buyers with competitive rates, fast processing time and low down payments. We are now offering a Premiere First Time Homebuyer Loan Program for qualified borrowers of no PMI mortgage insurance, even with 5% down.

Borrower's checklist for purchases

Actually, no documents are required from you at the time of application. But to speed up the loan processing time, you can prepare for the application appointment by providing the following information:

  • Signed purchase agreement
  • Driver's license or state photo ID
  • 2 most recent paystubs if paid every 2 weeks or last 4 if paid weekly
  • Phone number for Human Resources Dept. to verify employment.
  • 2 months bank statements for checking and savings account
  • 2 most recent years of W2s (if self employed, commissioned or part owner of a corporation or business will need complete federal tax returns, and corporate tax returns)
  • Recent 401K or retirement accounts
  • Pre-approvals are free, but for a purchase or refinance we will need a check for $400 for the application deposit

Borrower's checklist for refinances

If you are refinancing, along with everything from the purchase list above, you will also need the following items:

  • Previous titlework
  • Homeowner's insurance statement
  • Complete loan number/information of loan(s) to be paid off
