With more than two decades of experience in the mortgage loan industry, Sohayl Saboori understands the importance a team plays in helping clients realize their dreams of homeownership.
He’s worked as a loan officer assistant, funding assistant, junior underwriter, loan officer, and over the last decade a sales manager. He credits his background not only for providing a deep understanding of the mortgage loan process but for an understanding of all of the hands that go into securing a mortgage.
“Our team has worked closely together for well over 10 years,” says Sohayl. “We’ve created a culture that all of us would like to be part of. It’s like working with family. We support one another while taking care of our clients and referral partners.”
Clients appreciate Sohayl’s ability to help them navigate the home financing process and craft a mortgage solution that best fits their specific needs.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re purchasing our first home or your 10th home, refinancing an existing mortgage, or consolidating debt,” says Sohayl. “Each of these mortgages is slightly different because of the client you are helping work through the process. I’m here to make it as straightforward as possible.”
When he is not working, Sohayl enjoys spending time with his wife and three sons. You’ll find him coaching youth sports, playing golf, or traveling with his family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you're purchasing your first home, refinancing, or simply exploring your options, we're here to help. Browse our frequently asked questions for helpful insights and guidance as you navigate your home financing journey.
-
Your home-buying budget is based on factors such as income, monthly debt, available assets, credit history, and current mortgage rates. During the prequalification process, we'll review your financial picture and help you understand a comfortable price range so you can shop for a home with confidence.
-
A mortgage prequalification is a great first step in the homebuying journey. By reviewing basic financial information, we can estimate how much you may be able to borrow and discuss loan options that fit your goals. It's a simple way to better understand your buying power before you start shopping.
-
In many cases, prequalification can be completed quickly after we receive the information needed to review your financial situation. We'll guide you through the process and keep you informed every step of the way.
-
Credit score requirements vary by loan program, but your score is only one part of the overall picture. We also consider factors such as income, employment history, assets, and debt. Even if you're concerned about your credit, it may be worth exploring your options.
-
The required down payment can depend upon the home loan type (Conventional, Government, Jumbo, etc.). However, we do have mortgage loan programs available that allow up to 100% financing with a minimum down payment of $500 on 1-unit properties. Some buyers may also qualify for a Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Program that will help ease the up-front cost of the down payment.
-
Documentation requirements vary by borrower, but common items include recent pay stubs, W-2s, tax returns, bank statements, and identification. We'll let you know exactly what's needed and help make the process as smooth as possible.
-
Yes. Many first-time homebuyers may qualify for programs that offer low down payment options, down payment assistance, or flexible qualification requirements. We'll help you explore available programs and determine what may fit your situation.
-
That's completely okay. Many buyers start by gathering information and exploring their options long before they're ready to make a move. A conversation can help you understand where you stand today, what steps may be needed, and how to prepare for a future home purchase.
-
Refinancing may help you achieve a variety of financial goals, such as lowering your monthly payment, adjusting your loan term, or accessing home equity. We'll review your situation and help determine whether refinancing makes sense for your needs.
-
Your monthly mortgage payment may include principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, and, in some cases, mortgage insurance. The total payment will depend on factors such as the loan amount, interest rate, down payment, and property location. We'll help you understand your estimated monthly payment so there are no surprises along the way.
