What working with us looks like

Six steps. Honest timelines. The middle one — the actual house hunt — moves at your pace, with detailed estimates from us for every house you’re considering.

  1. Initial consultation

    A real conversation about your situation

  2. Preapproval

    2–48 hours from your consult

  3. House hunt

    Detailed estimates for every house you’re considering

  4. Formal application

    Once your offer is accepted

  5. Underwriting

    We wrap up the loose ends

  6. Closing

    15–30 days from accepted offer

What you’ll see before you commit

No guesswork. No “let me get back to you on that.” No sales pitch. Here’s what clarity actually looks like when you work with us.

The big picture, one screen

Down payment, rate, monthly payment, and initial investment — all in one view before you make an offer.

Every dollar of your payment

Broken down into principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA. You’ll know what’s in every dollar of that monthly number.

Honest closing estimates

A real number for what you’ll need at the closing table — not a lowball teaser that turns into a surprise at signing.

Every line item, explained

Title, escrow, taxes, insurance, prepaid items — every cost itemized. You’ll know what each dollar is for.

Decades of Michigan experience

We’ve been originating loans in southeast Michigan for over 20 years. First-time buyer, investor, self-employed, divorce — we’ve seen the scenarios and know what to ask.

Information, not a sales pitch

Our job is to make sure you understand your options. The decision is yours. We’ll lay out the tradeoffs plainly, answer every question, and never push.

Advisors, not salespeople. Pick the person you want to work with and reach out directly.

Loan programs we work with

We’re an independent broker, which means we shop the market for you instead of pushing a single product. Common programs:

From 3% down

Conventional

Best for strong credit profiles. The most flexible all-around option for most buyers.

From 3.5% down

FHA

More flexible on credit and debt-to-income, especially helpful for first-time buyers.

0% down

VA

For eligible veterans and active-duty service members. No mortgage insurance required.

Above the limit

Jumbo

For loan amounts above the conventional conforming limit.

Cash-flow qualified

Investor & DSCR

Rental properties qualified on the cash flow of the property, not your personal income.

Short-term

Bridge

When you’re buying a new home before your current one sells.

Beyond W-2

Self-employed & Non-QM

When tax returns don’t tell the whole income story. Bank statements, P&L, asset-based.

How we’ll handle your information

Before you enter your SSN, income, and other financial details on the next page, federal law (the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) requires us to explain how we’ll handle that information.

  • We collect what we need to evaluate, structure, and submit your loan.
  • We share it only with the people who help close your loan — the lenders we submit to, the service providers who run credit, title, appraisal, and verifications, and regulators when the law requires.
  • We don’t sell your information. We don’t share it for marketing. Not ours, not affiliates’, not anyone’s.
  • We protect it — encrypted transmission, restricted access, secure document handling.
