Here’s how we ensure your mortgage goes smoothly and fast:
Whatever your goals, buying a home or refinancing, now is the time to explore your best options.
Paradigm did a great job with my refinance. The whole process was handled very professionally and efficiently. I'd have no reservations going back to Paradigm for another mortgage loan.

We work with multiple lenders, not just one bank, so you get clearer terms and real choices.
No hand-offs. From start to finish, you’ll talk to the same person, Bill Van Dyke, with honest advice you can trust.
Buying a home? We’ve got your back.
Some people think you need a mortgage broker after you find a house. At Paradigm Mortgage, we believe the smart move is starting earlier, so you know exactly what you can afford, get pre-qualified quickly, and strengthen your offer with a Pre-Approval for when the right home comes along.
What we help you with:
Pre-qualification & Pre-approval
Know your buying power before you start house hunting, with a letter that backs up your offer.
Understanding affordability
We’ll help you figure out what you can borrow versus what makes sense for your lifestyle.
Comparing real options
We work with multiple lenders, explain your choices clearly, and guide you to the best fit, no jargon, no pressure.
Reducing costs
We have 34 years of experience and knowledge on how to reduce your costs
Planning for closing
From down payments to closing costs to HOA fees, we’ll walk you through what to expect, so there are no surprises at the finish line.
Lower your payment. Tap your equity. Simplify your life.
Refinancing isn’t just about chasing the lowest rate, it’s about finding what works for you. Whether you’re hoping to reduce monthly payments, pay off your mortgage sooner, or use your home’s equity to cover new goals, we’ll help you make the smartest move for your situation.
What we help you with:
Lowering your monthly payment
If rates have dropped or your credit has improved, we’ll help you explore new options to save every month.
Cash-out refinancing
Need funds for renovations, tuition, or other priorities? We’ll show you how to turn home equity into cash, without adding unnecessary risk.
Consolidating debt
Simplify your finances by combining higher-interest debts into one predictable, lower-rate payment.
Shortening your term
Want to build equity faster or pay off your home sooner? We’ll compare shorter-term loan options and show what fits your goals.
Low down payment. Flexible credit. Backed by the government.
FHA loans are designed to help buyers who may not qualify for conventional loans, especially those with limited savings or lower credit scores. If you’re buying your first home or getting back into the market, this could be the right path for you.
What we help you with:
Understanding if you qualify
We’ll walk you through credit and income requirements, and help you assess whether FHA is your best option.
Explaining your down payment options
FHA loans allow you to buy a home with as little as 3.5% down, and we’ll show you how to make that work.
Comparing FHA vs. Conventional
We’ll lay out the pros, cons, and long-term costs of each so that you can make a confident choice.
Navigating the paperwork
From FHA mortgage insurance to appraisal requirements, we’ll guide you through the fine print and help avoid delays.
You’ve served. Now let your benefits serve you.
VA loans are one of the most powerful and underused tools available to veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible spouses. With zero down payment, no PMI, and flexible terms, they’re designed to make homeownership easier for those who’ve earned it.
What we help you with:
Confirming your eligibility
We’ll walk you through what’s required, including the Certificate of Eligibility (COE), and help you get everything in order.
Zero-down financing
Buy a home with no down payment, and still access competitive rates and terms.
Explaining VA loan advantages
No PMI. Reduced fees. Streamlined refinancing. We’ll help you understand every benefit and how to make the most of them.
Avoiding delays and missteps
VA loans have unique rules; we’ll make sure the process is smooth, from application to closing.
More flexibility. More control. More ways to make it yours.
Conventional loans are one of the most common paths to homeownership, offering flexible terms, lower costs (with strong credit), and fewer restrictions than government-backed loans. If you have a solid financial profile, this may be your best option.
What we help you with:
Understanding if conventional is right for you
We’ll help you compare your options, especially if you qualify for better rates or reduced insurance costs.
Exploring down payment flexibility
You can put down as little as 3%, or avoid mortgage insurance with a 20% down payment. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each.
Tailoring the loan to your goals
Whether you’re buying a primary home, second home, or investment property, we’ll help you find the right structure and term. An Adjustable Rate Mortgage (ARM) may offer you a lower monthly payment.
Avoiding unnecessary costs
We’ll flag fees, explain how to remove mortgage insurance later, and make sure you’re not overpaying.
Turn your home equity into financial peace of mind.
Reverse mortgages allow homeowners aged 62+ to access the equity in their home, without selling or making monthly payments. Whether you need extra income, a financial cushion, or a smarter way to retire, we’re here to help you explore if this option fits your goals.
What we help you with:
Understanding how reverse mortgages work
We’ll explain what it means to borrow against your home’s value, and when repayment is triggered.
Clarifying eligibility
You’ll need to be 62 or older, use the home as your primary residence, and meet a few basic requirements. We’ll walk you through it.
Exploring payout options
Lump sum, line of credit, or monthly payments, we’ll help you choose what works best for your needs.
Avoiding confusion and misinformation
Reverse mortgages are often misunderstood. We’ll answer every question clearly, so you can decide with confidence.
