Ascentra's Mortgage Experts
You may be asking yourself, “How do I start the home buying process?” The answer is partnering up with an Ascentra Mortgage Expert! There are many steps to purchasing your new home, but our team is here to break it down into manageable pieces.
We start with the basics of getting you pre-approved so that you can move onto the fun part - home shopping! This first step is crucial because it tells you what you can afford, and if you’re using a realtor, most of the time they’ll want
to know that you’ve been pre-approved by a lender before working with you. But don’t worry! Our pre-approval process is fast and can typically be done with just two paystubs.

First-Time Home Buyers Grants
We know buying your first home can be financially stressful, that's why we're here to help. When you're an eligible first-time home buyer with Ascentra, you may qualify for a $15,000 grant to put towards your down payment or closing costs*!
For reference, Ascentra’s average closing costs are between $2,000 and $2,500. This means you could have $12,500+ left over AFTER paying your closing costs! That's just extra moolah that you could put towards your down payment or in your escrow account.
