Mortgage Broker North Austin Optimist (Austin, TX)
Crestview and Brentwood are all about timing, from game schedules to quick listing windows. At LendFriend Mortgage, we align pre-approval, rate decisions, and documentation so your offer is easy to accept and easy to close. From 600 Congress Ave, Office 15032, we can meet downtown, then head north for a same-day letter if your search moves fast. You will see payment ranges and total costs up front, without jargon.
Structures That Fit Crestview Price Bands
The goal is a structure that works for the next three to ten years, not just a headline rate today. We map budget, hold period, and risk comfort, then compare scenarios so you understand total cost. That clarity helps you choose the option that supports your plans, whether you are eyeing a bungalow or a townhome.
Before the list, here is how we tailor choices around the Optimist complex. Self-employed buyers may benefit from bank statement paths. Higher price points can call for Jumbo design and cash planning. If you plan to relocate again soon, we will align term length and rate structure to your timeline.
- Conventional with transparent terms and early PMI strategies
- VA, FHA, USDA for low or zero down where eligible
- Jumbo options for central and north-central price points
- ARM vs Fixed aligned to a 3–10 year horizon
- Bank Statement and Asset Depletion for self-employed and asset-rich clients
- Crypto-friendly reserves when program rules permit
- Bridge, Buy Before You Sell for non-contingent offers
- Non-QM solutions for unique income or property types

When you or your agent want to finalize documents downtown between showings near the fields, our office is an easy 18-minute drive south on Lamar Boulevard when traffic is light. Head south from the Optimist fields at 1105 Morrow Street, turn left on Justin Lane, then right on Lamar Boulevard heading toward downtown. You'll pass through Crestview's classic Austin bungalows, then through Hyde Park where the original Central Market sits on your left. Continue south and you'll see FireHouse Hostel & Lounge, then Lady Bird Lake's trail system comes into view as you cross the river. Pass through the bustling South Lamar corridor with Elizabeth Street Cafe and Alamo Drafthouse, and continue to 6th Street in the heart of downtown. Turn left on 6th toward Congress Avenue—we're at 600 Congress, 15th floor, office 15032, right across from the Paramount Theatre. The Littlefield Garage on 6th between Brazos and Congress provides covered parking when game-day traffic fills the street spots.
Stronger Negotiating Position when Buying a Home
The equity in your current home is unlocked and used as a downpayment on your new home; meaning no sales contingency required! Sellers HATE sales contingencies. Without a sales contingency, your offer is stronger, increasing your chances of buying your next home with ease.
Get the Highest and Best Sale Price
Without feeling pressured to sell quickly, you can wait for the best offer on your current home. List your home at the best time, market it effectively, and attract more competitive offers. With no rush, you can negotiate better terms and get the highest selling price.
Reduced Stress
Don't worry about finding temporary housing or organizing multiple moves. Avoid the chaos of having to coordinate the sale of your current home and the purchase of a new one. Transition seamlessly from one home to another and reduce stress or anxiety, making the moving process more manageable and organized.
Time for Improvements
Make necessary renovations or updates to your new property before you move in. Painting, remodeling, or other improvements would be more challenging if you were already living there. Moving into a freshly updated home (instead of living in it during renovations) is just so much nicer!
