Your first home, planned like your wedding.
I photographed weddings for twenty-five years before I became a mortgage broker. I know how to keep two people calm on a big day. If you are newly married, newly engaged, or just ready to stop renting, I will build your first-year plan on paper and walk you to the keys.
Three things I help couples with
The first-year plan. What you can carry comfortably, what you want the house to do, and your honest timeline, on one page, even if buying is two years out.
The down payment. Lower down payment programs, state first-time buyer help in Oregon, and the rules for gift money from family.
The real pre-approval. Both incomes, both credit reports, real documents, a letter agents take seriously, before you fall in love with a house.
The path
Talk for twenty minutes. See your plan on paper. Fix what needs fixing. Get pre-approved. Shop with a partner agent who takes care of you. Close. Our team at Freestone handles the back and forth the whole way.
