Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers from a broker who lives educating first-time buyers.

  • How much down payment do I need in Utah?

    Many first-time buyer programs require as little as 3% down for conventional loans or 3.5% for FHA. Utah Housing programs can even help cover part of your down payment. We'll walk you through every option.

  • Can I get pre-approved before finding a house?

    Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. Our Platinum Pre-Approval means your loan is fully underwritten before you shop, giving you a massive advantage in competitive markets.

  • What programs help first-time buyers in Utah?

    Utah Housing offers down payment assistance, below-market rates, and tax credits for qualified buyers. We also work with FHA, VA, USDA, and conventional programs to find the best fit for you.

  • How long does the mortgage process take?

    With our 21-Day Platinum Pre-Approval Closing Guarantee, qualified buyers can close in as few as 21 days. Most of our closings happen within 3-4 weeks.

  • What's the difference between a broker and a bank?

    A bank can only offer their own products. As an independent broker, we shop dozens of wholesale lenders to find YOU the lowest rate and fees — saving you thousands.

  • What is the Earnest Money Guarantee?

    If we issue a Platinum Pre-Approval and can't close your loan for any reason within our control, we'll cover your earnest money deposit. That's our promise.
