Make your mortgage feel like a win
Hello! I’m Eric Lisenby, a loan officer with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. I help individuals and families protect what matters most and move toward long-term stability through smart, approachable home financing solutions. I’m proud to guide clients through every step of the homebuying journey with clarity and care.
Previously, I worked as an insurance planner, building personalized strategies to protect clients’ goals, assets and livelihoods. I also spent time in sales leadership, where I led a door-to-door solar team and launched a regional office that ranked top five in growth across the Southeast. Today, I bring that same entrepreneurial mindset and client-first approach to CrossCountry Mortgage.
I’m a Sumter, SC native and a graduate of Erskine College, where I studied pre-med and competed in NCAA Division II baseball. Today, I bring that same discipline, drive and small-town mindset to helping clients feel confident, informed and supported on their path to homeownership.

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.

It depends on the home loan. For example, conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620. But VA and FHA loans may allow homebuyers to qualify with a credit score as low as 500. It’s important to note that lower credit scores often come with additional requirements or higher interest rates.
-
It typically takes a few months to buy a home. The exact length of the process will depend on the market, home and other financing factors.
At CrossCountry Mortgage, we’re dedicated to making the mortgage side of homebuying smooth and stress-free – offering full approvals quickly through our FastTrack program.

First, let’s see if you qualify for certain government-back loans. If you are a Veteran or Service Member, VA loans require 0% down. Same goes for rural homebuyers with USDA loans.
Second, talk to a CCM loan officer about local, state and national down payment assistance programs that may cover your down payment costs.
