Frequently asked questions

How much do I need for a down payment?

You may not need as much as you think. Many of our first-time buyers qualify for low or no down payment options, including FHA, VA, and down payment assistance programs. We’ll help you explore every option and find what works best for your budget.

What makes McLellan Team different from other lenders?

Most lenders just focus on closing the loan. We work with clients before, during and for the next 30 years of your loan. Our client success team ensures that you are always in the best loan at the right time, based on your unique situation.

How fast can I get preapproved?

With our technology-powered platform (powered by Better), you can get pre-approved in as little as 10 seconds. But it doesn't stop there, there may be ways to increase your purchasing power which is where our team comes in.

How do I know if I should buy a house right now?

Buying a home is a big step—and the truth is, it’s not right for everyone right now. That’s why we start with a simple conversation. We’ll look at your goals, income, timeline, and the local market. Whether you’re ready now or later, we’ll give you a plan and walk with you until the time is right.

I'm self employed, can I still get approved?

Absolutely. We specialize in helping self-employed buyers, freelancers, and business owners. Instead of just W2s, we can use bank statements, profit and losses, or asset-based solutions to show your real income and help you qualify.

What kind of loan is best for me?

That depends on your goals, income, and timeframe. After a quick discovery chat, we’ll build you a Total Cost Analysis—a simple, visual comparison of your loan options based on what builds the most wealth for you and your family.
