Common questions, answered
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. It's free, educational, and there's no pressure to apply or move forward.
What's the difference between a loan officer and a bank?
A bank can only sell its own loans. As a mortgage loan officer, Erin shops Conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA options across lenders.
Do I need perfect credit or a big down payment?
No. The consultation shows you where you stand today and what to work on before you apply.
Can we talk outside normal business hours?
Yes. Erin is available nights and weekends.
