I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Julie Johnson. For 24 years, I’ve helped people achieve homeownership, and I’m proud to do it with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.
I’m licensed in several states, with my business rooted in Washington and Texas and clients in Arizona and Tennessee. I’ve guided hundreds of families home, and I especially love working with first-time homebuyers.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all lending. A traditional loan isn’t always the best fit, and sometimes the right path takes strategy. With CrossCountry Mortgage’s wide range of loan programs, I’ll find the option that truly works for you.
I’ll walk you through every step, explain your options in plain language and answer every question, so you can buy with confidence. Whether you’re purchasing, refinancing or just exploring what’s possible, I’m here to help, through closing and for years to come.

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.
