I’ll personalize your home financing
Hi, I’m Chasten, a dedicated senior loan officer at CrossCountry Mortgage with a passion for empowering first-time homebuyers and helping current homeowners maximize their wealth through real estate. Since starting in the mortgage industry in 2020, I’ve built a reputation for providing personalized guidance and support from application to closing.
When you work with me, I’ll listen carefully to understand your goals. If you’re a first-time homebuyer, I can walk you through each step of the loan process and answer your questions. If this is not your first mortgage, we’ll discuss new products and how staple programs like conventional, jumbo, FHA, and VA can achieve your goals. With a commitment to fostering financial growth and a love for helping others, I’m here to make your homeownership dreams a reality. Start your journey with me at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling with my family and teaching my toddler the importance of financial literacy.

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.

To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
