Book a call with DomYou're squarely in range for every major program: conventional, FHA, and VA. This is a great spot to get pre-approved and map out the plan.
Book a call with DomLenders generally look for around 620 for conventional loans, and FHA gives you extra room on top of that. A quick call sorts out which one actually fits your numbers.
Book a call with DomFHA commonly starts around 580, so you likely have real options worth mapping out. This one's a conversation about fit, since your income, down payment, and monthly debts all factor in too.

Book a call with DomFor education only: this is not a loan decision or an offer of credit, program minimums vary by lender and loan type, and your credit score is only one factor alongside income, down payment, and debt-to-income.
Almost everyone thinks they need to save 20% of the price first. You don't. A down payment is just the cash you pay up front, and it is usually far smaller than the number people have in their head.
On top of the down payment there are closing costs, the fees to finalize everything: appraisal, title work, lender charges. What you actually need depends on the price, the loan program, and what the seller agrees to cover. One short call and you'll know your number instead of guessing at it.
Plenty of first-time buyers get in for far less than they expected. We'll work out your exact number before you start looking, so nothing catches you off guard at the closing table. Certain limitations apply. Call for details.
We talk through your budget and your comfort zone. No commitment, and no hit to your credit. Just a clear picture of where you stand.
Pre-approved just means a lender confirms how much you can borrow. We do it in about an hour, then send a short video explaining your numbers in plain English.
Found a home you love? We review the real numbers on that specific house with you before you make an offer.
Closing takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Then the keys are yours, and we stay in touch long after move-in day.
Our advice isn't tied to selling you a pricier loan. We work to put you in the right one, full stop.
Instead of one bank with one set of options, we check dozens of lenders to find the loan that fits you best. It costs you nothing extra.
We explain every term and every number until it makes sense. You'll never sign something you don't understand.
You get a single point of contact who knows your file, not a call center and a new name every time.
We live and work in this community. We know Cleveland neighborhoods, Ohio programs, and the local market, because it's our home too.
"First-time buyers and we were nervous about everything. They walked us through each step and made it feel easy. We closed without a single surprise."
"I thought I needed 20% down and was years away. Turns out I was ready. The video explaining my numbers was a game changer."
"Same person from the first call to the closing table. They actually picked up the phone every time. Cannot recommend enough."
Nothing out of pocket, in most cases. A mortgage broker is someone who shops different lenders to find your best home loan. On lender-paid transactions our compensation comes from the lender and is reflected in the loan pricing, so you are not writing us a check at closing. We will walk you through exactly how we get paid on your loan before you commit to anything.
Less than most people think. Several loan programs are built for buyers with small savings, and some buyers (veterans or rural areas) can put nothing down at all. There are also closing costs, the fees to finalize everything, and depending on the loan program and its limits, a seller or a family member can often help cover those. Your real number depends on the price, the loan, and the deal you make. We'll work out your exact number on a quick call.
No. When you talk with us, we start with a soft credit check, the kind that does not lower your score at all. You can find out exactly where you stand with zero risk to your credit.
About an hour once we have your basic information. We'll also send you a short video that walks through your numbers, so you know exactly how much home you can shop for.
There's more flexibility than you'd expect, and different programs have different guidelines. Many first-time buyers qualify with scores well below what they assume. Certain limitations apply, call for details. The best move is to let us look at your specific situation, since your score is only one part of the picture.
Dom teaches a plain-English first-time buyer class: the seven steps from pre-approval to keys, what a down payment actually has to be, and the mistakes that cost first-time buyers the most. Walk through it at your own pace. Nothing to sign up for.
Let's build yours. Start your pre-approval or book a free call, and find out what's actually possible for you.
