Before you get started, please read this!

Take a second to read the short list of tips before starting the loan application! Trust us, it’ll save you a LOT of time!


Five Quick Tips Before Applying (this will easily save you 10 minutes!):

  • 1

    DON’T Get Slowed Down By Questions You Don’t Have The Answers To Yet!

    When you go to complete our online application, it’s going to ask you questions about the home you’re looking to purchase — things like the property address, type of loan, actual down payment, purchase price, etc. For now, just answer the questions with estimates (for property address: “1234 TBD Street” would be perfect!). Just get us the basics to get started, we can fill in the blanks later on!

  • 2

    DO Complete A Full Two Year Work History!

    It’s important that we have a full two year work history for you. If you’re not certain on the addresses or phone numbers, don’t worry — we can go through and update it later. For now, we just need to know (1) Where you worked, (2) When you worked there and (3) What you did while working there!

  • 3

    DON’T Worry About Including Your Account Numbers

    Please don’t get caught up in the details of entering account numbers for your bank accounts. We just need to know what banks you bank with and what the balances (roughly) in those accounts are. We’ll complete the other details later on in the process.

  • 4

    DO Complete A Full Two Year Address History!

    It’s important that we have a full two year history of where you’ve lived. If you’re just shy of 2 years at your current home, please add the home prior as well.

  • 5

    DON’T Worry About Listing Off Your Monthly Expenses!

    Don’t worry about listing the details of your monthly expenses on the loan application. The only exception would be things like child support or alimony. Everything else is handled with the rest of the application process. No need to spend a lot of time on this part of the application.

Again, there is no hard credit inquiry to get started!


Frequently Asked Questions:

Will a credit inquiry negatively impact my FICO score?

In this specific case, we do not do a “hard” credit inquiry — so there’s absolutely no concern about a negative impact on your credit score.

That said, if you were to get a hard inquiry, you are entitled to a 45-day period to “shop around” for a mortgage. Therefore, a “hard” inquiry should not negatively impact your credit score. Because this is an extremely popular question, the CFPB has provided guidance on the topic — see screenshot below (found by searching “mortgage credit inquiries” on the CFPB’s website at consumerfinance.gov).

Is this online application a secure connection where I can confidently share my personal information?

Your privacy is our priority. Our online application is an extremely secure website that we’ve designed to make the process as easy and secure as possible. Below is a screenshot of what you should see in your URL when you click through to the application.

Am I able to save my progress in the application and come back to it later on?

Absolutely. If you get stuck on a question or you need to leave and come back later, you can always save the application and then re-access it later on. Below is a screenshot of what you’ll see at the bottom of each page of our online application.

How long does this loan application take to complete?

We’ve found that if you follow the tips listed above, our online application takes right around 10 minutes to complete — depending on how extensive your employment/living history is.

What happens after I complete this online application?

A member from our team will contact you to schedule a follow-up phone call to discuss the details of your loan application. In that call, we’ll talk through your goals and help you find the most suitable financing solution! Once completing the application, you’ll get a summary email of exactly what to expect!

I just want a rate quote, why do I need to complete a loan application?

This is a great question. Any time a financial institution quotes an interest rate without collecting information from you about your financial situation, they’re wasting your time. Most people find it hard to believe but there are over 27 different factors that go into a custom (and accurate) rate quote — including FICO Score, employment type, property type, purpose of loan, etc. With this online application, we can be accurate and give you the answers you’re looking for with the accuracy you deserve!

Okay, that answers my question! I’m ready to get started!
