Sarah is amazing at her job! She was always on top of things and made herself available to help us through things as first-time home buyers trying to understand the process. And she hooked us up with a loan that worked for us and exceeded our expectations!! I would recommend her to anyone trying to buy a home.

Nick is an exceptional mortgage loan officer. He is incredibly thorough and makes it his mission to explain every dollar, fee, and detail throughout the process so there are never any surprises. His ability to break down complex information and ensure you fully understand your loan is invaluable. Beyond his expertise, Nick is patient, responsive, hardworking, and operates with the highest level of integrity. From the initial application all the way through closing, he remains committed, available, and focused on making the experience as smooth as possible. I’ve purchased two homes with Nick, and both experiences exceeded my expectations. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication have earned my complete trust. He will be the only mortgage lender I work with in the future, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable loan officer.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got conventional loan questions. We’ve got answers.

Conventional loans are the most common type of home loan, and feature a wide range of options when it comes to down payment, loan structure, and the type of property you’re buying.

Qualifying first-time homebuyers may be able to put down as little as 3%, while other borrowers may qualify with a down payment as low as 5%. Some buyers also opt for a larger down payment to reduce their monthly payment and avoid private mortgage insurance, or PMI.

Conventional loans differ from government-backed loan types like FHA loans in that they can be used for a wide range of property types, including primary residences, second homes, and investment properties, depending on eligibility.

Do I need to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI) on
a conventional loan?

If you make a down payment of less than 20%, PMI is typically required. However, once you reach 20% equity, you can request to have PMI removed, which lowers your monthly payments.

What credit score do I need to qualify for a conventional loan?

Conventional loans generally require a credit score of at least 620. However, higher scores may help you secure better rates and terms, especially with lower down payments.

What is a conventional loan, and how does it differ from
government-backed loans?

A conventional loan is a mortgage not insured by the government, unlike FHA, VA, or USDA loans. It typically has fewer restrictions and may offer better rates for qualified buyers with good credit.
