I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, my name is Charles Naivar, and I’m excited to help you unlock the doors to your dream home! As a senior mortgage loan originator at our Auburn, AL branch, I’m proud to offer the expertise and resources of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender to assist you with your financing needs.
With over 20 years of financial and home loan experience, I enjoy working with homebuyers, homeowners, and referral partners such as real estate agents, contractors, and builders. I believe in creating a smooth loan process by consulting clients throughout, ensuring they thoroughly understand each step and have options that meet their needs effectively and affordably.
Before joining Cross Country Mortgage, I held various leadership roles, including Vice President of Mid-States Financial Group and President of Paragon Mortgage Corporation. I’m especially proud to assist my fellow Veterans, having served six years in the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Power Program. I reside in Phoenixville, PA, with my wife, Marcy, and our combined family of four teenagers.

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.
