If you are ready to start the buying process or need assistance with a pre-qualification, call us today at 305.917.9000 or provide us your information here.
Here we will share all the information you need to make the right decision.
Before making the decision, you should consider if it is the right time to buy a house. Know your purchasing and loan payment capacity with the following steps:
Check your credit score and history
Determine the area where you want to live
Make a list of preferences and organize them by priority
Know your budget
Arrange an initial interview with your Mortgage Consultant and get an orientation on the different financing alternatives
Evaluate your savings and determine if they are sufficient to buy the property you want. Typically you should have 10% to 15% of the sales price saved to cover down payment, closing costs, and/or escrow options if required.
Some examples of income that you can use for qualification are base salary, overtime, pensions, among others. Such income should be stable for a minimum of two years and should have a good chance of continuing to be received.
While the view, decoration, location, and not feeling tied-down may be important for some people, others feel it is much more important to have a home of their own. Determine what is important for you, and if it is having your own home, we are here!

Whether you are a current homeowner or a first-time buyer, with a Fixed Rate Mortgage you’ll know exactly what your payments will be for the life of your loan – which makes budgeting easy.
If you plan to stay in your home over the long term, and prefer to have more control over your expenses, this could be the ideal loan structure for you.
Choose between different year terms.
With its lower initial interest rate, an Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) can add flexibility to your financial picture.
If you expect to earn more in the future and/or don’t plan living on your property for the full life of the loan, an ARM is a smart loan to consider. Keep in mind that your rates remain fixed for an initial, pre-determined period and then adjust each year thereafter.
Here are a few reasons why an ARM might be an attractive option for you:
Initial interest rate is usually lower than in a fixed-rate mortgage
Interest rate can only go up by a limited amount
Offers flexible repayment
Easier to qualify for than other mortgage options
In addition, you may choose the initial fixed period of your ARM.

With Non-Conforming loans that include both Fixed-Rate and Adjustable Rate options, we offer flexibility and the one-on-one customer service you expect and deserve
We can also offer more flexibility in the qualification process since conditions for approval are not subject to outside conforming loans requirements
Loan amount of $806,500 represents the maximum lending limit for a single-unit property jumbo loan. All loans are subject to credit approval under FirstBank Florida Terms and Conditions. Program, rates terms and conditions may vary and are subject to change. Certain restrictions apply. All products and services are available only in Florida.
