Your Local CrossCountry Mortgage Loan Officer
Andy Coppernoll
Your biggest decision is my biggest passion
Hello, my name is Andy Coppernoll, and I want to be your loan officer. My mortgage career began in 2001 after graduating from the University of MN. While playing rugby and contemplating law school, I was introduced to a mortgage brokerage in St. Paul, and the rest is history.
I follow a “customer for life” philosophy. By treating everyone fairly, I aim to earn repeat business and referrals from friends and family. I enjoy educating clients about the mortgage process, answering questions and presenting financial options.
Off the clock, I’m an avid outdoorsman who enjoys hunting, fishing, camping, canoeing, gardening and planting trees. My wife Lindsay and I have four children and live on a 7-acre hobby farm in western Wisconsin.
Whether you’re buying, refinancing or renovating, I offer a variety of mortgage solutions at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. From conventional and rehab loans to VA, FHA, USDA and MHFA programs, I’ll help you choose the right one for your goals.

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.
-
That is more about you than the market! You’ll want to consider if you are ready to take on the homebuying process and then calculate your purchasing power with a CCM loan officer. Once you know your homebuying budget, it’s time to house hunt and explore your desired community for the home of your dreams.
-
Before you find your dream home, it will help to have:
- Your credit score
- Proof of employment and income
- Cash or assistance for a down payment
- The right loan
- A homebuying budget
- An expert real estate agent
- Your dedicated CCM loan officer
-
Refinance costs vary, but typically range from 2% to 6% of your loan amount. For example, refinancing a $300,000 mortgage may cost $6,000–$18,000. Costs include appraisal, title and lender fees. A CCM loan officer can help calculate your break-even point and long-term savings.
-
A cash-out refinance lets you replace your current mortgage with a new one for more than you owe — taking the difference in cash. Use it for renovations, debt consolidation, tuition, or unexpected expenses by tapping into your home’s equity.
-
Refinancing makes sense when you can lower your interest rate, shorten your loan term, switch to a fixed rate or access equity for cash. If your current mortgage no longer fits your financial goals, it may be time to refinance.
-
To refinance, meet with a CCM loan officer, review your credit, apply for your new loan and submit required documents. After approval, you’ll schedule a closing and start fresh with your new mortgage terms and payment structure.
-
You can typically refinance after six months, but timing depends on loan type, lender and your financial situation. A CCM loan officer can help determine if now’s the right time based on your equity, credit and current interest rates.
