Initial Conversation

Initial Conversation

We start however you're most comfortable: phone call, video chat, or jumping right into the application. This first step helps us understand your goals and build a plan to get you there

Apply & Share Documents

Apply & Share Documents

Next, you’ll complete your application in our secure online portal. It’s helpful to have your income and asset information handy, but we also offer a true digital mortgage experience. This means if you can link your payroll and banking information, you might not need to provide any physical documents at all. This step gives us everything we need to get you fully approved faster.

Upfront Underwriting

Upfront Underwriting

What sets us apart is that we fully underwrite your loan right from the beginning. This means your file is thoroughly reviewed up front, giving you a stronger offer and often a quicker path to closing. It’s our way of making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.

Home Search & Offer Support

Home Search & Offer Support

As you search for your new home, we’re with you every step of the way. We provide clear and comprehensive loan scenario presentations so you can see your options at a glance, answer all your financing questions, and help you strategize to make your offer as competitive as possible. Our goal is to make sure you’re shopping with confidence and ready to move quickly when you find the right property.

Under Contract

Under Contract

Once your offer is accepted, we lock in your interest rate, order the appraisal, and finalize any remaining details. Because so much of the work is already done upfront, this stage is smooth and stress-free. Our team will guide you through each step and keep you and your agent fully updated as we move toward the finish line.

Final Review & Clear to Close

What Our Clients Say

Your mortgage experience should feel personal, transparent, and stress-free. But don’t just take our word for it — hear from the homeowners and partners who’ve trusted The Pyne Team.

We were first time home buyers and spoke to several different local lenders before choosing John Pyne and his team. It was simple: they had the best customer service and the best rates. John and his team were professional and helpful throughout the home buying process. John took the time to explain all of our loan options, he was transparent, honest, and promptly answered all of our... questions. When we needed to quickly make an offer on our future home after normal business hours, John was able to get us our tailored pre-approval letter in minutes. We would recommend John to all of our friends and family. Read More

Peter N.

I absolutely recommend John Pyne and the Pyne team! They have you covered! John was amazing with his attention to detail throughout the mortgage process, always attentive to our best interests, (no pun intended) and always kept us informed on ways to save money. He went above and beyond to explain all scenarios in detail, answered any questions and always kept us up to date with the loan. From start... to finish, John made our loan process a great experience. Thank you John!! Read More

Jason V.

From pre-approval to the final process, everything was smooth and easy. Their communication is concise and super clear. I asked so many questions to John and he answered every single questions. Their secured portal made the process so much easier and it also made me confident. Being a first-time home buyer, I was not really aware of this 'private lender' option, but I am so glad I chose the Pyne over... other major providers including traditional banks and credit unions. The Pyne team gave me the best rates that no other banks/credits union could match. I highly recommend John and his team! Read More

Day K.

John and his team were exceptional to work with and I would recommend them to anyone looking for real estate financing help. Their customer service is second to none and they made an especially complicated and stressful process seem easy and manageable. The team identified excellent borrowing options and helped us secure an exceptionally competitive interest rate on our mortgage. Five stars!

Daniel A.

I recently purchase a property in downtown DC that had a lot of moving parts that a less experienced team would of had trouble executing and making as smooth as possible for the client. The Pyne Team did an incredible job helping me with my recent purchase and I would highly recommend them for your needs. John - the team leader is a great guy and goes above and beyond for his clients. Thank you, Brett.
