I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, my name is Matthew Belmont, and I’m here to make your home loan process as smooth as possible. With years of experience helping clients win, I’ll ensure you get the right loan from America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.
After completing a successful tour of duty in the United States Marine Corps, I began my career as a loan officer, where I quickly found success due to my drive and desire to serve my clients. Through continued education and the development of a strong support team, I’ve been able to help many families and individuals own the home of their dreams.
My experience has taught me that each person has a unique goal driving their homeownership journey. I’ll meet with you to determine your financing goals, secure loan terms and ensure the entire mortgage process runs smoothly. Together, we’ll develop a plan just for you.
From our first discussion to your closing day, I look forward to providing you with second-to-none communication and customer service.

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.
