Whether you are purchasing your first home, upgrading, refinancing, or simply exploring your options, we are here to help guide you through the process.

Conventional Loans

Conventional loans are one of the most popular financing options for buyers with stable income and solid credit.

These loans typically offer competitive interest rates, flexible terms, and low down payment options for qualified buyers — including conventional loan programs with as little as 3% down for eligible borrowers.

Conventional loans may be ideal for:

  • First-time home buyers

  • Buyers with good-to-excellent credit

  • Down payment options as low as 3%

  • Primary homes, second homes, and investment properties

  • Buyers looking for long-term flexibility

FHA Loans

FHA loans are designed to help make homeownership more accessible, especially for first-time buyers or borrowers who may need more flexible credit guidelines.

Because FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration, qualifying is often easier compared to some conventional loan programs.

FHA loans may be a great fit for buyers who:

  • Have lower down payment funds available

  • Are rebuilding credit

  • Need more flexible qualification requirements

  • Are purchasing their first home

  • Want down payment options starting at 3.5%

USDA Loans

USDA loans offer qualified buyers the opportunity to purchase a home with little to no down payment in eligible rural and suburban areas.

Many areas throughout Michigan qualify for USDA financing, making this an excellent option for buyers looking to keep upfront costs lower.

USDA loan benefits may include:

  • No down payment options for qualified buyers

  • Competitive interest rates

  • Flexible qualification guidelines

  • Affordable monthly payments

VA Loans

VA loans are available to eligible veterans, active-duty military members, and certain surviving spouses.

Backed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, VA financing offers some of the strongest benefits available in today’s mortgage market.

VA loan benefits may include:

  • No down payment requirements for qualified buyers

  • No monthly mortgage insurance

  • Competitive interest rates

  • Flexible credit guidelines

Jumbo Loans

Jumbo loans are designed for buyers purchasing higher-priced homes that exceed conventional loan limits. These programs can provide flexible financing solutions for luxury homes and higher-value properties throughout Clarkston and the Tri-County area.

Jumbo loan options may include:

  • Financing for higher-priced homes

  • Competitive fixed and adjustable-rate options

  • Primary homes and second homes

  • Flexible down payment structures for qualified buyers

Refinancing Options

Refinancing may help homeowners lower their monthly payment, shorten their loan term, consolidate debt, or access home equity. Every homeowner’s situation is different, which is why reviewing the numbers carefully is important before making a decision.

Refinance options may include:

  • Rate and term refinancing

  • Cash-out refinancing

  • Debt consolidation strategies

  • Removing mortgage insurance

  • Shortening your loan term
