Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the pre-approval process take?
Most pre-approvals are completed within 24-48 hours. We can often provide a conditional approval within hours of receiving your application.
What documents do I need for a mortgage application?
Typically, you'll need recent pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and proof of employment. We'll provide a complete checklist when you apply.
Can I get a mortgage with a lower credit score?
Yes, we work with clients of all credit profiles. While a higher score helps, we have options available for lower scores.
What's the difference between fixed and variable rates?
Fixed rates stay the same throughout your term, providing payment stability. Variable rates fluctuate with the market, potentially offering savings.
How much down payment do I need?
Down payments range from 5% to 20% of the purchase price. Smaller down payments require mortgage insurance.
Can I pay off my mortgage early?
Most mortgages allow prepayment, though some have restrictions or penalties. We'll explain your specific prepayment options.
