Let’s find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.

Conventional

Conventional

A Conventional loan is a great option if you have an average to high credit score and little debt. This allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates. With these types of loans, you have the option to put 20% down, which eliminates the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and saves you money. If you don’t have a large down payment saved up though, don’t worry. We have Conventional loan options for down payments as low as 3%.
Reverse mortgage loan

Reverse mortgage loan

If you’re retired or at least 62 years old and looking to purchase or refinance to make the most of your home investment, this may be a good option for you. A reverse mortgage allows you to use the equity in your home to supplement your retirement income.

VA

VA

If you’re an active member of the military or a veteran, a VA loan can help you save money with no down payment and lower closing costs. VA loans also have lower interest rates, meaning you’ll save money over the life of your loan. A VA loan is a program created and guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) specifically for eligible military veterans, service members and their spouses.

All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice.

Review for Carolyn Thomas I had a fantastic experience working with Carolyn during the loan process for my new home. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Carolyn guided me through every step, explaining the options available and helping me choose the best loan for my situation. What I appreciated most was her responsiveness. She was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns I had, which made the process much less stressful. Thanks to Carolyn, I was able to secure a great rate and close on time. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a loan agent. Thank you for your hard work and support!

Carolyn has been an amazing community partner in supporting older adults who are looking for ways to better support retirement expenses and lifestyles. So many are unaware of the equity that they can tap into and she communicates and educates folks so that they know what their options are. These financial options can be life changing! Thank you for all that you do and the wonderful service you I give to individuals and families in the golden years.
