Buying your first home can be confusing at times, and here at Homewise, our goal is to make this entire process simple – and free. We’ve made this possible by creating a 5-minute online pre-approval application, an inventory of educational resources along with the added benefit of a personal Mortgage Advisor once you apply. Here’s what you can expect when you get a mortgage with Homewise:
We help you understand what you need from the start.
Given that it’s your first time, you may be unsure about exactly what you need to start, which is why our team shares valuable tips and information to help you navigate the process. We outline everything you need for your home purchase and getting a mortgage by guiding you based on your unique circumstances. This may include key documentation required, how much you need for a down payment, additional hidden costs (closing costs), and the many factors that impact your home affordability.
Get pre-approved and understand your options and affordability in just 5 minutes.
When it comes to getting a mortgage, we always encourage getting pre-approved before you begin the process. Pre-approval allows you to understand what you can afford from the start and will simplify your home search by helping you focus on homes that are within budget. This will also save you plenty of time and manage your expectations during your home search. At Homewise, we’ve made this process quick and easy with a pre-approval application that can be completed in just 5 minutes. Once you submit your application, you will be set up with a personal Mortgage Advisor who will guide you at every step of the process with full transparency. Our Advisors work with over 30 banks and lenders to find you the best mortgage based on rates and features.

Before you apply for a mortgage, it’s essential to explore these programs to see if you qualify. At Homewise, we make sure that you’re aware of all of the programs and incentives available as a first-time home buyer. These incentives include:

Our team of Mortgage Advisors work with over 30 banks and lenders to give every home buyer a clear picture of the mortgage options available in the marketplace.
