Our Service Standard
What you can count on from us.
The commitments that get offers accepted and loans closed on time. 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 sellers can rely on the letter.
- 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 competes 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.
- We call the listing agent to support your offer
A direct call from your lender answers the seller's questions before they become objections.
- Expert specialization
VA, Conventional, CHFA, FHA & DSCR. First-time buyers, veterans and investors, handled by people who do it every day.
