Questions

About the application.

Still deciding? Call or text me at 925-768-9145 and I'll walk you through it.

What is a 1003?

The 1003 is the Uniform Residential Loan Application, the standard form every U.S. mortgage lender uses. Completing it online lets me review your full picture and match you with the right program.

Is my information secure?

Yes. The application runs on an encrypted mortgage portal, and your information is only used to evaluate your loan.

Will applying commit me to a loan?

No. Applying lets me review your options and give you real numbers. You decide whether to move forward.

My credit isn't perfect. Should I still apply?

Yes. FHA, VA, CalHFA and Non-QM programs may still work, and if you're not ready yet I'll give you a clear plan to get there.

What happens after I submit?

I personally review every application and reach out with your numbers, usually within one business day.
