Our Service Standard
What you can count on from us.
The service standards we hold ourselves to. Timelines are service goals on eligible purchase files, not guarantees; see disclosures below.
- Underwritten preapprovals, as a standard
When you get us your documents and prepare accordingly, an underwriter reviews your file before you make an offer, so the letter carries more weight with sellers.
- 7-day-a-week service
Offers get written on Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons. We answer, run the numbers and issue updated letters when you need them.
- Closings as fast as 21 days, commitments as fast as 16
Fast timelines your agent can write into the contract, so your offer can compete with cash.
- Rescue closings as fast as 8 days
If another lender falls through, we can step in and work to get you to the closing table.
- With your OK, we call the listing agent to support your offer
A direct call from your lender can answer the seller's questions early.
- Expert specialization
VA, Conventional, CHFA, FHA & DSCR. First-time buyers, veterans and investors, handled by people who do it every day.
Calculators
Run the numbers before you talk to anyone.
Our calculators give you a clear estimate: payment, cash to close, and what renting is costing you.
