Louisiana
Mortgage Broker

I applied for a mortgage at the bank I worked for and could not get one question answered. That is why this works the way it does. Your file gets shopped to lenders who want it, every program you qualify for gets priced, and you talk to me.

Why A Broker

A Broker Who Works For You.
Not A Bank.

Channing Moore is a licensed mortgage broker, which means we work for you, not a lender. No products to push and no quotas to hit. One job: find the loan that makes the most sense for your situation and get you to the closing table.

We Shop, A Bank Sells

A bank can only offer you what the bank has. Your file goes to multiple wholesale lenders at once and you get the best rate your profile qualifies for.

Every Program Priced

FHA against conventional against VA against USDA, run on your real numbers. If another one costs you less, that is the one we tell you to take.

Louisiana Insurance, Priced In

Wind and flood are the expensive part of the payment here, not the taxes. We quote the real escrowed payment up front so underwriting does not surprise you.

You Call, I Answer

You work with Channing Moore, not a call center. A question at 8pm on a Saturday gets answered. That is what working with a local broker means.

The Application

Apply From Your Phone In Fifteen Minutes

Louisiana FAQ

Common Questions
from Louisiana Borrowers

A bank sells you its own products. A broker shops your file across multiple wholesale lenders and brings back the best one you qualify for. And to be fair about it: if you are buying a million dollar house with great credit, a big bank will beat me. I will tell you that rather than waste your time.
FHA, VA, USDA, conventional, jumbo, and DSCR investor loans, plus refinance, cash-out and HELOC. We price every one you qualify for side by side rather than pushing one.
All 64 parishes. There are city pages for 32 of them with local price ranges and parish notes, and we work everywhere else the same way.
No. The first look is a soft pull and your score is not touched. A hard pull only happens when you decide to move forward, and multiple mortgage inquiries in a short shopping window count as one anyway.
Because it is the expensive line in the payment here, and it is what you qualify against. Wind and flood coverage go into your escrow. Anybody quoting you a payment without real insurance numbers in it is not quoting you a payment.
Depends on the program. FHA is 580 for 3.5% down, or 500 to 579 with 10% down. Conventional is usually 620. VA and USDA set no official floor though most lenders want 580 to 620. Your debt-to-income ratio matters as much as the score.
