Quick Q: What's the difference between a broker and a bank?
Brokers like us shop around for you. Banks only offer their own programs. That means more options-and often better rates-when you work with a broker.

Real Questions from Real New Jersey Homebuyers
How do I get pre-approved for a mortgage?
We'll review your income, assets, credit, and goals-then issue a pre-approval letter you can use to shop with confidence. It's fast, secure, and often done in a day.
What credit score do I need to qualify?
Most programs start around 620-but we have lenders that work with lower scores, especially for FHA and non-traditional borrowers.
How much do I need for a down payment?
It depends! Some loans require as little as 3%. We'll help you understand your options and eligibility for assistance.
Can I get a mortgage if I'm self-employed?
Yes-we work with programs that look at bank statements, 1099s, or profit & loss statements instead of W2s.
