First base

Look at loan options

When you join our team, we will meet with you to check your credit report and credit score. This step helps you determine the home price you can afford and the best type of mortgage loan for your situation. Our mortgage specialists know the local market, understand the homebuying process and are here to help you find a loan that fits your unique situation.

For members purchasing their first home, Mountain America’s first-time homebuyer program is designed to lower barriers. Members may qualify with as little as $1,000 down, up to 100% loan-to-value financing and no private mortgage insurance required.

Second base

Get prequalified and make an offer

Next, we’ll get you a letter of prequalification so you can make an offer with confidence. This letter lets sellers know that you are a serious buyer and determines your maximum loan amount. Then comes the exciting part—finding your new home!

Third base

Order an appraisal and home inspection

After your offer is accepted by the seller, you will need to order an appraisal to determine the property’s market value, as well as an inspection to look at the home’s condition. Both are an added cost to the buyer and should be factored into your homebuying budget.
