- VA Loans
VA loans are guaranteed by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. They offer long-term financing to eligible American veterans or a surviving spouse of a veteran. No down payment is required, and up to 100% of the purchase or refinance of a home can be offered. We believe that the VA loan structure is just a small way to award those who have shown exceptional courage and valor.
The Loan Process
Get Preapproved
This is the time to get in the know. A pre-approval will give you an advantage when you find your perfect home. We can tell you what you need to get pre-approved so you know the exact loan amount you qualify for, what your monthly payment will look like and how much taxes and insurance will be. With a pre-approval, the loan process will be smoother and your offer will be stronger.
Select Your Loan Program
Fixed rate? Adjustable? FHA? There are multiple loan options that may fit your unique needs, and we can help you choose. Are you looking for the for the consistent rates and payments that a fixed rate loan can provide? Do you want the short-term benefits of lower rates that an adjustable rate loan can bring? Our extensive portfolio of loan options means you have more options available to get just what you need.
Loan Application
Your application will provide a complete picture to loan investors of your assets, debts and what you are buying. You will need to provide documentation, including a photo I.D., pay stubs, proof of income, tax returns, employment history and information on all debts, assets and sources for down payments. Don’t worry, we will let you know exactly what is needed for the loan application so you can be fully prepared.
Processing & Underwriting
Your loan has specific investor guidelines that must be met, and an underwriter will review your documents to be sure that you meet them. While an underwriter reviews your file, an appraisal will be ordered on the home. Additional information may be requested, so don’t panic if you have to turn in more documents. That’s just the underwriter working hard to get your final approval.

Close The Loan
With an approved loan, you are on the home-stretch toward closing. The lender will send closing documents to a title company that will draw up paperwork and arrange for signing of documents. Once the documents have been signed and funding conditions have been met, the title is recorded and the process is complete. You are a proud owner of your new home, and the keys are yours!
