Getting Started
First-Time Buyer?
Amy has helped hundreds of first-time buyers navigate the process with ease.
Start with your credit
Check your credit score early. A score of 620+ qualifies for most loans; 740+ unlocks the best rates.
Save beyond the down payment
Budget for closing costs (typically 2–5% of the purchase price), moving expenses, and an emergency fund.
Explore loan programs
FHA loans require as little as 3.5% down. Tennessee also offers THDA programs with down payment assistance for eligible buyers.
Don't skip the inspection
A professional home inspection is your best protection. Amy always recommends one — no exceptions.

Financing Tips
Conventional Loan
Ideal for buyers with strong credit (620+). Down payments as low as 3% with PMI, or 20% to avoid it.
FHA Loan
Government-backed loan with a 3.5% minimum down payment. Great for first-time buyers or those with lower credit scores.
VA Loan
Available to eligible veterans and active-duty military. No down payment required and no PMI.
THDA Programs
Tennessee Housing Development Agency offers down payment assistance and below-market rates for qualifying Tennessee buyers.
Rate Lock
Once you're under contract, lock your interest rate promptly. Even a small rate change can significantly affect your monthly payment.
