Loans Offered

With over 25 years in the home mortgage industry, we’re happy to share their proven professional expertise and experience with literally dozens of loan programs; here are a few of our more popular programs.

Conforming/Non conforming

Conforming home mortgage loans fall in line with funding limits and requirements set by the FHFA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Any home mortgage that doesn’t fit into those requirements is known as a non-conforming home loan. Jumbo loans are a popular option for well-qualified buyers who wish to exceed conforming price limits.  There are many non-conforming programs that allow opportunities to purchase the home that’s right for you.

FHA/VA/USDA

A leading mortgage broker in the Pacific Northwest we are proud to offer a number of federally insured home mortgages. With an FHA (Federal Housing Admin) loan you can reduce your down payment and find the home that’s right for you. There are no geographic restrictions, and generous loan limits allow a lot of freedom to choose.  For folks who live in some of the more remote areas of Washington State, a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) loan may be right for you. As long as you reside within the designated rural area, and meet income requirements, funding can be secured for the purchase or renovation of your home. For current and former members of the armed forces, VA (Vetteran’s Administration) home mortgages offer some perks like 100% financing to the folks that deserve it the most.

Bridge Loans
