A loan may be considered a HOEPA (high-cost) loan if its interest rate or fees exceed federal limits. Your lender is required to notify you if your loan is subject to HOEPA and may require you to complete counseling before closing. If you're unsure, review your Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure or ask your lender or housing counselor for assistance.
We'll review your loan terms with you. If it meets HOEPA's high-cost triggers, counseling is required. You'll get clarity before you move forward.
Most pre-purchase and HOEPA counseling sessions take about 60 to 90 minutes. The exact length depends on the complexity of your loan and how many questions you have. Your counselor will move at your pace and make sure every concern is addressed before wrapping up.
Not at all. Many people use this session to prepare for the future. We'll help you create a plan so you're mortgage-ready when the time is right.
Bring your Loan Estimate, Closing Disclosure, pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, and any correspondence from your lender. If you don't have everything, don't worry — your counselor will guide you on what's still needed and help you gather it.
That's okay. You'll leave with personalized steps, credit guidance, and budgeting tools to help you prepare confidently for homeownership when you're ready.
