I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Timothy, and I’ve been in the mortgage industry since 1992, proudly helping clients in Blaine, MN with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. The most important thing I’ve learned is the value of listening.
I want to understand your goals and priorities so I can offer a home loan that’s right for you. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a long-time homeowner, or looking to buy an investment property or fund a renovation, I offer a wide range of loan programs, including FHA, VA, conventional, and jumbo. Together, we’ll find the right onw for you.
Sharing information is as important as listening. I’ll ensure you always know what’s happening with your mortgage and will be available to answer your questions. From application to closing and beyond, I look forward to giving you an outstanding home loan experience.
When I’m not helping my clients, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful wife and our three children. I love sports, especially hockey and golf, and outdoor activities like fishing and hunting.

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.
