Our mortgage-ready roadmap

Hop in and follow our simple process — we’ve been down this road before.

Apply for a Mortgage

Apply smart

At our first meeting, we’ll discuss your goals, go over your custom mortgage options report, and get you a pre-qualification letter to start shopping.

Buy smart

We’ll catch up weekly throughout the approval and closing process to answer your questions and keep everything going smoothly.

Stay smart

Once you’ve moved into your new home, we’ll stay in touch with the insights you need to be the smartest homeowner on the block.

Word on the street

Saved the day!

When our previous mortgage fell through a week before closing, Tim saved us! He quickly got us going on a new loan. He took care of us, answered every question, and got us a great rate at terms we were comfortable with.

Awesome!

I was a first-time home buyer, and Tim answered all my questions in a way I understood. He made sure I felt prepared and had all the information I needed to make the best decisions.

A constant communicator

Tim is always in contact to ensure you have the information you need, and he’s always looking for ways to save you money.

We live for your lightbulb moments.

BLANK STARES

More often than not, that’s what we see across the desk when we ask, “What questions do you have about the home-buying process?”

The black hole of knowledge is real for most first-time home buyers — and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. 
We believe that with the right tools and information, you can absolutely feel confident about getting a mortgage and buying your home.

Plenty of brokers can help you secure a loan and send you on your way. And that’s all some people need.

But if you want to be a smart home buyer (and homeowner!), you’re in the right place. 

We’ve helped thousands of clients in eastern Iowa — from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City to Des Moines — understand this process and make smart home-buying decisions. For more than 20 years, we’ve been living for every lightbulb moment: We love to empower our clients with the knowledge to understand not just the what but the why of this process.
