FAQs

Should I talk to a lender before touring homes?

Yes. A lender conversation early helps you understand your search range and avoids wasted time.

Can financing differ by property type?

Yes. Land, commercial property, and certain rural properties can have different requirements than a standard home purchase.

Can Julie recommend a lender?

Julie can help organize the next step, but the lender should always be the source of truth for approval, program details, and current terms.
