Principal, interest, taxes and insurance broken down clearly.
Down payment options
How much you actually need — and programs that lower it.

Steps to take before buying
Credit or financial moves that strengthen your position.
A clear plan for what's next
You leave knowing exactly what to do — and when.
Your Game Plan Should Fit Your Situation
There's no single "best" mortgage for every buyer. Your income, down payment, timeline, current home, and long-term goals all matter. I'll help you understand which options are worth considering — and which ones aren't.
About Tyler
With 10+ years of mortgage experience, I help homebuyers understand their options and make confident decisions — especially when the situation isn't completely straightforward.
Whether you're buying for the first time, self-employed, navigating past credit challenges, moving on a tight timeline, or simply unsure where to start, my job is to help you understand the options and the next steps.
I believe education comes first. You should understand the "why" behind a recommendation — not just be handed a rate.
Based in Southern Maine, I work directly with my clients from the initial conversation through closing. You get a real person who knows your situation — not a call center or a chatbot.
"My job isn't to sell you a loan. It's to help you make a confident decision — even if that decision is 'not yet.'" — Tyler Smith
"I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help with purchasing our home. Tyler is very polite, professional and willing to go that extra mile for the customer."
"Tyler helped secure a refinance at a great rate after over a year with another lender — and got rid of my PMI by moving my family into a 30-year conventional. I was really impressed."
