I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Eric Staggs, and I’m here to make your homeownership dreams a reality with a first-class mortgage experience. I began my journey in the mortgage industry in February 2020, transitioning from running a Private City Club in Denver, CO. Licensed in Tennessee, Colorado, and Indiana, I guide clients wherever their home may be.
As a dedicated member of our Knoxville, TN team, I’m committed to providing exceptional service with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. In recognition of my commitment, I received the prestigious KMBA Silver Production Award in 2023. But the most rewarding moments are seeing the joy on my clients’ faces when they finally hold the keys to their new home. I specialize in working with a wide range of clients, from first-time homebuyers to investors. My mission is to ensure a smooth, stress-free process, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Beyond mortgages, you might find me cheering on the Colts or enjoying family time at Lake Norris.

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.
