The financing tools I share with agents I work with across Central Florida. Print them, send them to buyers, or text me with questions any time.
If a buyer's financing is going to be a problem, I'll tell you early and honestly, before it costs you a listing or a closing date.
Listing agents judge the lender as much as the price. These are the details I help buyers get right before an offer goes out.
General guidelines only. Every buyer's approval depends on their full file and underwriting.
| Program | Min. down | Credit (typical) | Good fit for | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conventional | 3% | 620+ | Solid credit, 5–20% down | PMI under 20% down, removable later |
| FHA | 3.5% | 580+ | First-time buyers, building credit | Condo approval, appraisal property standards |
| VA | $0 | Lender guidelines | Eligible veterans and service members | Funding fee, condo approval, COE needed |
| USDA | $0 | Lender guidelines | Eligible rural and suburban areas | Income limits, address eligibility |
| Jumbo | Varies | Higher | Loans above $832,750 (2026) | Reserves, stricter documentation |
This is not a commitment to lend. All loans subject to credit approval and underwriting guidelines. Rates and terms are subject to change without notice. Programs may not be available in all states.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are rolling out a redesigned appraisal report (the UAD 3.6 update). It collects more property detail, and some of that detail comes from the listing.
Referring a buyer shouldn't mean you start chasing a lender. This is how I handle every file.
You get an update at application, appraisal, underwriting approval and clear to close, without asking.
If something changes, you'll hear it from me before your buyer tells you.
You work with me from pre-approval to closing, backed by Homespire's in-house underwriting.
Send me the buyer's name and number and I'll reach out within one business day, or call me and we'll set up a quick intro.
