Just Bought a House? Think You Have to Wait to Refinance? Nope.

Did the bank tell you that you need to wait six months to refinance? Yeah, that’s a myth—and it’s one they love to keep alive. Why? Because they want to hold onto their commission. But here's the truth: I don’t care about their commissions—I care about you and getting you the best deal possible.If you just bought your home and rates dropped (or you realized you could get a better deal), I can refinance you the day after you get your keys. I’m not here to hold you back or make you wait—I’ll keep working with you as long as I can improve your rate. We’re talking about a customer-for-life mentality here. As long as there's a better deal on the table, I’ll help you get it!

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Can I Refi? (Spoiler: More Than the Bank Wants You To)

Forget that six-month waiting game banks love to tell you about—it’s a myth! You can refinance as often as you qualify. Whether it's the day after you close or a year later, if it makes sense for your wallet, I’ve got you. Just remember, there are closing costs each time, but if it’s saving you money, it’s a win in my book!

Can I Really Buy With No Money Down? (Yup, You Can!)

Let's make this journey smooth and simple together!

How Long Will the Mortgage Process Take? (Spoiler: Way Faster Than the Bank!)

Here’s the scoop: The Truth in Lending Act (TILA) says we have to wait at least seven business days after receiving your application before closing, and most home loans take around 30 days. That’s because of all the behind-the-scenes stuff like appraisals and credit checks.But here’s the good news:I typically close most loans in just 14 days. No more waiting around for the slow pokes at the bank! Our team is super streamlined and efficient. We don’t need to send endless emails or wait for approvals from different managers. We work as a tight-knit crew, talking every day to get things done fast. So, if you’re looking for quick and smooth, you’ve come to the right place!

Our Loan Officers have helped plenty of folks who weren’t sure if they could become homeowners. We’ll dive into your financial situation and long-term goals to find the perfect loan program for you.Plus, I’m here to break down the mortgage math so it’s crystal clear. It’s not magic—just numbers and a bit of know-how. I want you to understand exactly what’s going on and how we calculate everything. Getting pre-qualified before you start house hunting will give you a solid idea of what you can afford and help make the process smoother. Let’s figure this out together!

Why Do People Refinance? (It’s All About Convenience and Saving $$!)

Refinancing is like hitting the reset button on your mortgage to make your life easier and your wallet happier. Maybe you bought your home this year, and rates have dropped—time to snag that lower rate and save some cash! Or perhaps you’re drowning in credit card debt with sky-high interest rates; refinancing can help consolidate that debt and get you back on track.Here’s another one: your AC just gave up on you in the middle of a heatwave (global warming, am I right?), and you need a quick fix. Or maybe your kid’s college dreams (Harvard, anyone?) are a bit pricey, or you just haven’t had a vacation in ages and need some breathing room. Maybe the backyard BBQ is getting old, and your spouse is dreaming of a relaxing getaway. Or your teenager finally turned 16 and has their eyes set on a Mustang!Refinancing isn’t just about lowering your rate—it’s about making your life more convenient and solving everyday problems. Let’s talk about how refinancing can help you tackle these challenges and m

How Much Cash Do You Need to Buy a House? (It’s Like a House Shopping Game!)

The amount of money you’ll need to buy a house isn’t exactly a “one-size-fits-all” situation—it’s more like a game of “How Much Can You Score?” The exact figure depends on the home’s price and the mortgage financing you go for.If you’re aiming high, you might need to drop as much as 20% of the home’s price as a down payment. But don’t worry if that sounds like a lot—there are also loans that only require as little as 3%, and some programs let you buy with no down payment at all!So, whether you’re dreaming of a cozy starter home or a luxury pad, we’ll find the right fit for your wallet and your goals. Let’s break it down and make that house-hunting game a win for you!

Can I Get a Mortgage After Bankruptcy? (Absolutely, Let’s Chat About It!)

Yes, you can still snag a mortgage even after a bankruptcy! It’s definitely possible, and the key is talking to a Loan Officer who can help you explore your options. Just bring all your bankruptcy paperwork, and we’ll dive into finding a loan program that’s a great fit for you.Think of it like this: bankruptcy doesn’t have to be a roadblock—it’s more like a detour on your journey to homeownership. Let’s get you back on track and into your new home!

Should I Lock My Rate Now or Wait? (The Age-Old Rate Gamble!)

Interest rates are like roller coasters—up and down all day long. If you’re seeing a rate that’s looking pretty sweet, it might be wise to lock it in now. Waiting could mean rates go up, and nobody likes paying more than they have to.Of course, if you’re worried that rates might dip even lower after you lock, let’s chat. Some programs let you lock in a rate for an extended period and still snag a lower rate if one becomes available.Think of it this way: there's an old saying, “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.” You might save money if rates drop tomorrow, but they might also go up, and then you’re stuck with higher rates. If you’re feeling lucky and don’t mind a bit of a gamble, you can wait. But if you want to play it safe and get the best deal today, let’s lock that rate in!
