Frequently Asked Questions

What credit score do I need to buy a home?

Many lenders look for a score around 600+, but we work with options across the credit spectrum. Even if your credit is thin or bruised, talk to us — we’ll find the right fit.

Down payment requirements vary by loan program. Some buyers may qualify with as little as 3% down, while others may choose to put more down depending on their financial goals.

From accepted offer to closing it’s typically 30–45 days, depending on financing, inspections, and negotiations. Pre-approval can be done well before you start shopping.

Absolutely. Pre-approval helps you understand your budget, strengthens your offer, and allows you to shop with confidence.

Yes. We work with borrowers across a wide range of credit profiles and can help you explore loan options that fit your situation.
