Mortgage FAQs

We have compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions.

How do I get pre-approved to purchase a home?
The fastest way to get the pre-approval to start shopping for your new home is to apply online.

How long will I be pre-approved?
Pre-approvals are good for up to 120 days.  In the event you do not find a home in that amount of time, we can extend the pre-approval by receiving some updated information.

When do I lock my rate?
When you have an accepted offer on the home you are going to purchase and pay the $599 application fee, the rate would need to be locked at that time to continue the process and order the appraisal.
