Why a Team

One Agent. One Lender.
One Conversation.

Most homebuyers find a Realtor and a lender separately, then spend the entire process translating between them. Different timelines. Different terminology. Different ideas of what comes next.

That's where mistakes happen. Offers fall apart. Closings get delayed. Buyers lose homes they should have gotten.

When Shean and Jorge work together for you, every step is coordinated. You get one game plan, one calendar, and two specialists who already know how the other one operates.

"I don't want to be like any other Realtor out there that you'll never see again. I want to be your Realtor for life." Shean Howlett

I've been waiting for years to buy a house and thanks to Sean, we were able to purchase our very first home. He went above and beyond to help us and visit over 25-30 homes before we were happy. Very kind and understanding of what we wanted. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Thanks again for everything!

Common Questions

Answered Honestly.

The questions every first-time and move-up buyer asks, answered together.

No. This is the biggest myth in homebuying. FHA loans require 3.5%, conventional loans can go as low as 3%, and VA and USDA loans can require 0%. Down payment assistance programs are also accessible in Arizona, Jorge will walk you through every option you qualify for.

A mortgage pre-qualification uses a soft pull that doesn't impact your score. A full pre-approval involves a hard pull that temporarily lowers your score slightly. Multiple mortgage inquiries within 45 days count as one inquiry, so shopping around is safe.

Pre-approval can be issued within 24-72 hours if your documentation is prepared. Gathering documents or addressing credit or debt-to-income concerns may extend the timeline to 1-3 weeks. Jorge provides realistic timelines during your initial consultation.

Permanent residents, DACA recipients, and non-citizens with valid work authorization can qualify for most loan programs, including FHA. ITIN loan programs also exist for buyers without Social Security numbers.

You're not alone, and you're not disqualified. Most buyers have at least one area that needs work. Credit typically improves within 60-120 days with proper planning and strategy, Jorge will build the plan with you during your free consultation.
