Products and Services
FIND THE PERFECT HOME LOAN
Standard Down Payment Mortgage Program
The most common type of home loan is the Conventional Fixed Rate Mortgage. Fixed Rate Mortgages allow you confidently budget your monthly house cost and plan for the future. Learn More – Standard Down Payment Mortgage Programs.
30 YEAR FIXED-RATE MORTGAGE
A fixed rate loan with the stability and predictability of a monthly principal and interest payment that remains the same for the full 30 year loan term.
20 YEAR FIXED-RATE MORTGAGE
If you’d like to save on interest costs, consider a 20 year loan period. You’ll still enjoy the benefits of predictability and stability, but you’ll own your home more quickly and you’ll realize the cost savings of paying less in interest.
15 YEAR FIXED-RATE MORTGAGE
A 15 year fixed loan means you’ll own your home in half the time of the 30 year loan. This is a good fit for buyers that want to pay more each month in order to shorten the loan (and interest) period.
JUMBO LOANS
If your home loan amount exceeds the current conforming loan limit (in most cases $510,400), a jumbo loan is for you.
Low Down Payment Home Loan
Just like home, your mortgage should fit your life. In some instances, home buyers can take advantage of products and programs that provide flexibility and favorable terms. It is our pleasure to review these options with you, matching them with factors in your life that may make you eligible. Learn More – Low Down Payment Home Loans.

Types of Mortgages
With so many home loan options, it can be hard to decide which route you should take. Our friendly mortgage team is available to answer any questions and guide you through the decision-making process. Some common differences between mortgages include:
FIXED-RATE VS. ADJUSTABLE RATE
A fixed rate mortgage locks in the same interest rate for the entire payment term, even if you’re paying across several decades. An adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) features an interest rate that changes over time, usually every year after an initial fixed period.
CONVENTIONAL VS. GOVERNMENT-INSURED
Conventional loans are not insured by the government and harder to secure. If you have sufficient credit, steady income, and a down payment, you’ll generally find interest rates attractive. It’s easier to qualify for a government-insured loan, but they are generally less generous when it comes to interest rates. You’ll also probably have to buy mortgage insurance with a government-insured loan.
CONFORMING VS. JUMBO
A conforming loan amount falls within maximum size limits set by two government-controlled corporations. A jumbo loan amount exceeds the maximum size limits set for a home loan. You’ll need excellent credit, a large down payment, and, in most cases, a willingness to pay higher interest rates for a jumbo loan.
