Frequently Asked Questions
How do I apply for a mortgage with Team Goltzman?
You can start in seconds by texting #pickrandall to 51614, or simply click the Apply Now button on our website. We’ll follow up right away to guide you through every step.
How much home can I afford?
Once you provide your income, assets, and credit details, we’ll run a quick soft‑pull pre‑approval. This tells you exactly how much you can borrow and helps you shop with confidence in Central Texas competitive market.
What documents do I need to get started?
Typically we need:
- The last 30 days of pay stubs (hourly workers, please also include your last pay stub from each of the previous two years)
- Two most recent years for W2s
- Two most recent bank statements
- Credit history report (we’ll pull this with a soft inquiry)
- Valid photo ID (driver’s license or passport)
If you have any questions, we’ll walk you through each required document.
What’s the difference between Pre‑approval and Underwriting Approval?
- Pre‑approval involves verifying your income, assets, and credit (with our soft‑pull) to issue a conditional loan commitment that makes your offer stronger.
- Underwriting approval means that we have reviewed all the borrower’s financial information — such as income, credit history, assets, debts, and the property details — and determined that the borrower meets the lender’s and loan program’s requirements.
This approval confirms that, based on the verified documentation and the ability to fulfil the underwriting conditions, the loan is more likely to be funded, subject to final conditions (such as a satisfactory appraisal, title work, or updated documents). It is a key milestone in the mortgage process, signaling that the loan is on track toward closing.
How long does the mortgage process typically take?
Most of our clients close in 14–21 days. Our in‑house underwriting and local Texas processing are designed for speed and reliability so you can move into your home faster than with a big‑bank lender.
Can you really close in 14 days?
Yes—if all your documentation is in order and there are no major title issues, our team aims to fund and close in as little as 14 days. We call it our 14‑Day Closing Promise.
Do you do a hard pull on my credit when I apply?
No. We perform an initial soft pull to assess your options without impacting your score. A hard inquiry only happens if you decide to move forward with a specific loan application.
Which loan program is right for me—Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA or Jumbo?
That depends on your goals:
- Conventional is ideal for buyers with strong credit seeking flexible terms.
- FHA works best for those with lower down payments or credit scores.
- VA is zero‑down for eligible veterans and active‑duty service members.
- USDA offers rural homebuyers 100% financing.
- Jumbo covers high‑value properties above conforming limits.
We’ll review your situation and recommend the program that saves you the most over time.
Do you work with first‑time homebuyers?
Absolutely. We specialize in guiding first‑time buyers through every detail—from exploring down payment assistance programs to explaining loan options in plain English—so you feel empowered and supported.
Can you help me refinance or take out a Texas cash‑out loan?
Yes. Whether you want to lower your rate, shorten your term, or tap equity for renovations, debt consolidation, or college expenses, we offer competitive refinance and Texas cash‑out options tailored to your needs.
