🏡 Buy a Home

“Explore your path to homeownership — from first-time buyer programs to alternative loan solutions.”


📘 Overview: How the Purchase Process Works

Buying a home involves more than just finding the perfect property. It starts with getting pre-approved, choosing the right loan program, and making sure your financing matches your goals, credit, and budget.

Here's how the process typically works:

  1. Get pre-approved based on income, credit, and down payment

  2. Explore loan programs that best suit your situation

  3. Make an offer with financing support in place

  4. Complete underwriting and appraisal

  5. Close on your new home
