Is now the right time?
Rates have dropped
If market rates are meaningfully below your current rate, a refi can cut your payment — I’ll show you the real break-even.
You need cash
Tap equity for renovations, debt payoff, or investing — often at a far lower rate than other borrowing.
Your goals changed
Shorten your term to build equity faster, or drop mortgage insurance now that you have equity.
Refinance questions
Will checking my options hurt my credit?
No. The initial review uses a soft credit pull that doesn't affect your score. A hard pull only happens later if you choose to move forward with a full application.
How fast can I close?
Most purchase clients close in about 21–30 days. The digital HELOC can fund in as few as 5 days. The biggest variable is how quickly we get your documents in.
What credit score do I need?
It depends on the program — some options work for scores as low as the 500s. If your credit isn't where you want it, I can map out a plan to get you qualified.
Do you only work in Texas?
No. I'm licensed in 25 states, including Texas and California. Wherever you're buying, let's talk and I'll confirm I can help.
