Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Should I talk with a lender before looking at homes?

    A: Yes, talking with a lender is and important first step to the buying process.

With a lender pre-approval in hand, you know what you type of homes and locations you can afford.

  • Q: Should I buy or continue to rent?
