Transparent Rates and Fees

It is our policy to offer the lowest rate and closing costs available on the day that you lock in your VA home loan.

Many of our competitors, including the #1 VA lender in the US, will lock you in at a higher rate with higher closing costs to see if you will accept those terms. They will only offer you better terms if you start talking with other lenders.

If you do not think this is a good business practice and prefer to work with a lender that provides their best offer the first time, let's get your application started.
