Frequently Asked Questions

Is the consultation really free?

Yes! Absolutely no cost and no obligation. It's simply a chance for us to discuss your goals and see if I can help.

How long does a consultation take?

Most consultations last 30-45 minutes, but I'm happy to spend more time if needed. We'll go at your pace.

Do I need to bring documents?

Not for an initial consultation! We can have a productive discussion without any paperwork. If you decide to move forward, I'll let you know what documents we'll need.

Will you check my credit?

Not during the consultation. Credit checks only happen if you decide to apply for a loan, and only with your permission.

What if I'm not ready to buy or refinance yet?

Perfect! Many of my best clients started with a consultation months or even a year before they were ready. I'll help you create a plan to get where you want to be.
