The Process

Three steps, no surprises.

Most of the anxiety in getting a mortgage comes from not knowing what happens next. Here's exactly what happens next.

01

Apply & get pre-qualified

A short call or online form. I'll walk you through what you'll qualify for and what documents to gather — usually within one business day.

02

Lock your rate & underwrite

Once you're under contract, we lock your rate and move through underwriting together. I'll flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a delay.

03

Clear to close

Final approval, a walkthrough of your closing disclosure, and a closing date that actually holds.

Loan Programs

Financing for how you're actually buying.

Conventional

The standard path for buyers with solid credit — as little as 3% down on qualifying loans.

3% down

FHA

Lower credit and down payment thresholds, built for first-time buyers.

3.5% down

VA

For eligible veterans and service members — often zero down, no PMI.

0% down

USDA

For eligible rural and suburban properties — zero down for qualifying buyers and locations.

0% down

Jumbo

For financing above conforming loan limits — common across Florida's coastal luxury market.

By request

DSCR

For real estate investors — qualifies off the property's rental income, not your personal income.

Why Work With Matt

Dual-licensed means fewer surprises.

Because I'm also an active Realtor on the Treasure Coast, I read a purchase contract the way an agent does — not just the way a lender does. That means I catch financing issues before they threaten your closing date, not after.

What that looks like in practice

Faster answers on financing contingencies, realistic closing timelines set from day one, and a lender who already understands the property, not just the file.
