VA Loans

Zero down. No mortgage insurance.

Your VA loan is one of the best benefits you've earned. I'll help you use it the smart way, whether it's your first home or your next move.

Why the VA loan is so powerful

No other loan gives you all three of these at once.

No down payment

$0 down

Buy with no down payment at all. Keep your savings for moving, furniture, or a cushion.

Lower payment

No monthly mortgage insurance

Most low down payment loans add mortgage insurance every month. VA loans don't.

Buy what fits

No loan limit

With full entitlement, there's no cap on how much you can borrow with $0 down. You just need to qualify.

How it works, start to finish

Three steps, one person guiding you the whole way. That's me.

1

Confirm your eligibility

I can pull your Certificate of Eligibility for you, often in minutes. Then we'll get you pre-approved.

2

Find your home

With the home and the loan under one roof, your offer is stronger and nothing falls through the cracks.

3

Close with confidence

I keep the loan and the purchase moving together, all the way to the keys.

Smart ways to save with your VA loan

The rate isn't the whole story. These are the tools I use to make the numbers work.

Rate buydown

Pay a little up front, or have the seller pay it, to lower your rate. It can last the life of the loan or just the first few years.

Seller concessions

The seller can pay your normal closing costs, plus up to 4% more in concessions. That can cover a buydown or pay off a debt.

Funding fee waiver

If you receive VA disability pay, you don't pay the VA funding fee. That alone can save you thousands.
