we treat your clients with respect and make them feel good about the loan process

There is no such thing as a hard loan.

At Novel Home Loans, we get all the details up front and explore options. Either a loan meets a program's underwriting guideline or it doesn't. There is no such thing as a hard loan, only loans that have fewer details and ones that have more details.

The Traditional Way

Rigid, algorithm-driven underwriting built strictly for simple W-2 earners with a high credit score and plenty of money.

  • Good for bank loss mitigation, bad for capable borrowers

  • Prioritizes the ability for a lender to resell a mortgage over homeownership

  • Valid income is not taken into consideration

  • Inexperience loan originators don't have the ability to see potential obstacles in a preliminary approval, leading to last minute delays and denials

The Novel Way

Holistic, personal evaluation assures that the borrower, real estate agent and lender understand the process and have what is needed to meet the terms of the purchase contract.

  • Preliminary documents requested all at once

  • Alternative scenarios addressed at the beginning of the process

  • We consult with you, the real estate agent, throughout the process as often as you'd like

  • Underwriter-backed pre-approvals delivered in as little as 48 hours
