Found the perfect next home, but haven't sold your current one?

That can make things tricky, especially if you're counting on the equity in your current home to help fund your next purchase.

The good news? A bridge loan* could help you access that equity and move forward without having to sell first.

If you're thinking about making a move, let's talk about your options and how to make the timing work for you!

*All credit decisions for brokered products will be made by a third party. Restrictions and limitations apply.

Working with a limited budget? Don’t count yourself out.

You may not need 20% down to buy a home. Depending on your situation, low-down-payment loans, down payment assistance*, gift funds or seller contributions could help make homeownership possible.

The amount in your savings account is only one part of the picture.

Before you assume you can’t afford to buy, let’s look at your options.

*Certain restrictions apply, subject to down payment assistance program guidelines. Not available in all areas. Please contact your PrimeLending loan officer for more details.

Here's a little food for thought this Thanksgiving!

One of the great things about owning a home? As you pay down your mortgage, you're building equity that could help you down the road—whether that's renovating, covering a major expense or reaching another financial goal.

Already a homeowner? Let's talk about how your home's equity could work for you.

And if you're thinking about buying, I'm here to help you get started!

A little fall maintenance now can help prevent bigger headaches later.

As temperatures start to drop, give your home a quick seasonal checkup:

Clean gutters and downspouts

Have your heating system inspected

Check windows and doors for drafts

Disconnect outdoor hoses and protect exposed pipes

Inspect your roof for damage or missing shingles

Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors

Trim branches away from your roof and home

Owning a home means taking care of it, too. Save this list for your fall weekend to-do list.

And remember, I’m here as a resource long after closing day.

How Much House Can You Comfortably Afford?

You've probably heard the 28% rule—aiming to spend around 28% of your gross monthly income on housing.

But here's what I tell my buyers: Just because you qualify for a certain amount doesn't mean you need to spend it!

Let's look at your income, debts, monthly expenses and goals to find a payment that feels right for your budget.

My goal isn't to help you buy the most house. It's to help you buy the right house for you.

You may be able to use gift funds from an eligible donor to help cover your down payment or, in some cases, closing costs.

But there are rules. Depending on your loan program, who can provide the gift, how the money is transferred and what documentation you’ll need can vary.

That’s why it’s a good idea to talk with me before the money changes hands.

If someone is planning to help with your home purchase, let’s make sure you know how to do it the right way.

Don’t let one number scare you away from exploring your options.

Buying could mean finding the right home for your life, starting to build equity or getting out of a rental that no longer works for you.

Refinancing could still make sense if you want to access equity or change your loan terms*.

A higher rate doesn’t automatically mean making a move is the wrong move.

Let’s run the numbers and see what makes sense for you.

*All loans subject to credit approval and meeting eligibility requirements. Restrictions apply. Must meet minimum equity requirements. By refinancing an existing loan, the payments and total finance changes may be higher over the life of the loan.

Mortgage Checkup

It’s a fair question. A great rate is valuable, but it doesn’t automatically mean you’re still in the right house.

Maybe your commute is costing you more time and money than it used to. Your family needs more space. You’re ready to downsize. Or the location, schools or neighborhood no longer fit your life.

Moving could mean a higher rate or payment, so it’s worth looking at the whole financial picture, not just the number on your current mortgage.

If life has changed, let’s run the numbers and see what your options actually look like.

Your rate matters. So does the life you’re building around it.

For many homeowners, home represents years of memories, hard work and equity built over time.

A reverse mortgage may allow eligible homeowners 62 and older to access a portion of that equity while continuing to live in the home they love.* The funds can be used in a variety of ways, from covering everyday expenses or home improvements to creating more financial flexibility for the years ahead.

Wondering if a reverse mortgage could fit your plans? Let’s talk about your options.

*These are brokered loan products. All credit decisions for brokered loan products will be made by the third-party lender. Restrictions and limitations apply. Not available in the state of NY. You must still live in the home as your primary residence, continue to pay required property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, and maintain the home according to FHA requirements. Failure to meet these requirements can trigger a loan default that may result in foreclosure. As required by FHA, you will be charged an up-front mortgage insurance premium (MIP) at closing and, over the life of the loan, you will be charged an annual MIP based on the loan balance. Your current mortgage, if any, must be paid off using proceeds from your reverse mortgage loan. If your home needs repairs to be eligible for a reverse mortgage loan, you may be able to use the proceeds of the loan to accomplish this. Generally, the money received is not considered income and could be tax free, please consult your tax advisor and appropriate government agencies for any effect on taxes or government benefits. It is strongly advised that you consult with your family and / or trusted financial planner when considering any reverse mortgage loan.
