What we do for your business.

Every file gets same-day pre-approvals, a processor and an assistant on the loan, and updates to you and your client at every milestone. That's the floor. This is the rest.

A plan, not a pitch

The growth session ends with a written 90-day plan: two or three moves specific to your business, and what we'll do on our side to help make them happen. Then we check in on it.

Help working your leads

The open-house sheet, the internet leads you never got to, the buyer who went quiet. We help you follow up, get them pre-approved, and keep them moving. We also keep an eye on your past clients, so when one looks ready to sell or refinance, you hear about it first.

Marketing we build together

Co-branded open-house pieces, listing collateral, first-time buyer education, and ads we run together. Co-sponsored, each side pays its own share, and none of it is tied to sending us business.

After the closing

Your closed buyers hear from us for years. You stay top of mind.

Our system, RateWatch, keeps watching the market and the loan for every client we close together. As soon as there's an opportunity to save them some money, they hear from us, and you stay top of mind. Referrals, built in.

Cheat sheet

Buyers we can help. Keep this handy.

Before anyone tells your buyer no, check the list. One team, 200+ lenders, and a file dying somewhere else gets a second look the same day.

Income

  • Self-employed + 1099 + gig income. Bank-statement and P&L programs when tax returns don't tell the whole story.
  • Investors + rental loans. DSCR and other investor programs that lean on the property's cash flow.
  • Retired or asset-rich. Eligible assets can help create qualifying income.
  • New job or offer letter. Future employment can keep a purchase moving.
  • Physicians + new professionals. Specialty programs early in a career.
  • Jumbo, luxury + high net worth. Jumbo, ARM, interest-only and portfolio options for bigger, more complex pictures.

Cash or credit

  • Down payment assistance. Grants, forgivable seconds, repayable seconds. Some help with closing costs too.
  • Little or nothing down. VA, USDA and other low-down-payment paths.
  • Credit took a hit. FHA and alternative-credit programs when the score isn't there yet.
  • Needs a plan first. A realistic path toward qualifying, not just a no.
  • Payment too high. Seller credits, buydowns, MI options, loan structure.
  • Buying before they sell. Bridge and equity-access programs.

Property

  • The dated fixer. Renovation financing that folds the repairs into the purchase.
  • The condo that got bounced. Non-warrantable and alternative condo programs.
  • Manufactured homes. Options for scenarios other lenders won't touch.
  • Land + new builds. Lot loans, construction, one-time-close.
  • 2 to 4 unit properties. Owner-occupied multifamily, rental income can help qualify.
  • Private / short-term capital. When timing matters or the file isn't a fit for traditional financing.
