Looking to Buy Your First Home?

Getting Started
Determining Your Goals
Here To Help!
Buying a home can feel like a challenge, and often, the first step can seem like the most difficult. Which is why we encourage your first step to contact our mortgage team at Clear Mountain Bank, so that we can help walk you through the process together!
When you talk with one of our Mortgage Specialists, they will get to know you better and help create a plan specific for you, including understanding your price range based on your financial situation, preparing for your pre-approval application and understanding the various first-time homebuyer programs.
First Step
Getting
Pre-Approved
Obtaining your pre-approval for a mortgage is your first step in owning your own home. A pre-approval letter can put you ahead of other buyers, but also helps you understand what house price you can comfortably afford. Best of all, you can usually get a pre-approval the same day!
Rest assured, we have made the pre-approval process quick, easy, and convenient with HelloHome Mortgage, our online mortgage application.
Choosing The Best First-Time Homebuyer Program
Now that you have your mortgage pre-approval, our team can help select the best program for you as a first-time homebuyer. Fortunately, there are several loan programs for assistance with your down payment and closing costs, including government-sponsored programs, as well as local and federal tax credits.
Here is a look at some of the most popular first-time home buyer loans and grants:
