Your Local CrossCountry Mortgage Loan Officer
Scott Lushing
I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hello! I’m Scott, your local loan guide at the Boynton Beach, FL branch of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. In December 2001, I had just gotten a real estate license when I met someone who originated loans. They said that with my love of numbers and sales skills, I was a better fit for mortgages than real estate. I listened, went in headfirst and fell in love with the puzzle, pieces and people.
I start everything off with a phone call. Typically, that first call is at least 30 minutes and can last up to 90 minutes. I spend most of the time educating and walking the borrower through the qualification process. I explain the why behind things and get granular on topics that they might not realize matter to home financing. From credit card balances to escrows and HOA dues, I make sure nothing is missed.
Clients can tell I care, and I really do. That’s what makes my service special. 24 years in the business — with the last six in America’s Top 1% of Mortgage Originators — confirms this.

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.
