Steps to Easy Home Buying with Novus
Buying a home is a major milestone. You deserve a path to homeownership that feels clear and supported at every step. The Novus Path brings together experienced loan officers, innovative technology, and industry-leading knowledge in both traditional and Non-Qualified Mortgage (Non-QM) lending.
Get Pre-Approved
A Novus pre-approval gives you a clear idea of what you can afford, helps you understand your loan options, and strengthens your offer when it is time to make a move.
Explore Your Loan Options
From conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA loans to Non-QM, jumbo financing, and down payment assistance programs, we help you compare options and choose the one that fits your goals.
Find the Right Home
With your pre-approval in hand, you and your real estate agent can focus on homes that match your budget and priorities. Your loan officer stays connected throughout your search to answer questions and offer guidance.
Apply and Submit Documents
Our technology makes it easy to apply, upload documents, and see what’s next. Your loan officer will walk you through exactly what is needed and help you stay organized to keep your application on track.
Processing and Underwriting
Our team reviews your file, verifies your information, and prepares your loan for underwriting. Underwriting is the step where a loan expert reviews your financial details to make sure everything meets the guidelines for your loan. We keep you updated throughout the process and let you know if anything else is needed to keep your loan moving.
Closing, Getting Your Keys, And Beyond
Once your loan is cleared to close, you’ll sign your final documents and celebrate becoming a homeowner. Your Novus loan officer is here for you long after closing, whether you need answers, updates, or help with future financing.
Real Stories from Real Owners
My fiancé and I would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to Megan and the entire Schoemann Team at Novus Home Mortgage for making our dream of homeownership a reality. As first-time homebuyers, we knew the process could be overwhelming, but Megan made every step incredibly smooth and stress-free. From our very first conversation through closing day, she consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, patience, and genuine care. She always took the time to answer our questions, explain each step of the process, and ensure we felt comfortable and confident in every decision we made. Megan's communication was outstanding, and her attention to detail gave us complete confidence that everything was being handled correctly. It was clear that she truly cared about helping us achieve our goal, and she treated us with kindness and respect throughout the entire experience. Because of Megan and the Schoemann Team, purchasing our first home was an exciting and enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Megan as our loan officer and cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us.

Jake and the team were so communicative and straightforward throughout the entire process. They always responded promptly and were more than willing to answer any questions we had. They made what could have been a very overwhelming experience feel much less confusing and never made us feel like we were going through it alone. We truly appreciated their support and guidance every step of the way.

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the process, but Megan made everything much easier. She was patient, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond whenever we had questions. She guided us through every step, kept us informed, and worked hard to help us reach closing successfully. We truly appreciated her support, professionalism, and dedication. Having her there with us on closing day made the experience even more special. We highly recommend Megan and her team to anyone looking to buy a home. Thank you for helping us achieve this important milestone!

I was able to reach out to Jake and his team a few times over the last few months to ask if it was a good time for me to refinace. They replied quickly and when it was finally a good time they made the process quick and easy! When I had questions Jenna was always understanding and would answer them promptly. Not knowing all the loan lingo and options can be daunting, but she walked me through the process and laid everything out in a well organized and easy to understand mannor. The icing on the cake was them working to get us a rate protection plan that just came out to save us even more on closing, even though we would have gone through with the refinance without it. It's the little things and the extra effort they put in that makes me glad I work with them!
