Loan Products
Conventional Loans
Ideal for borrowers with strong credit, a stable income and employment history, and a down payment of at least 3 percent.
VA Loans
Provides flexible, low-interest mortgages for members of the U.S. military (active duty & veterans). VA loans do not require a down payment or PMI.
Jumbo Loans
Makes sense for more affluent buyers purchasing a home above the conforming loan limit. Borrowers should have good to excellent credit, high incomes and a substantial down payment.
USDA Loans
Helps moderate- to low-income borrowers purchase a home in a USDA-eligible area. You must meet certain income limits to qualify. Some USDA loans do not require a down payment for eligible borrowers with low income.
