Mortgage Broker vs Bank: Which Is Better for Your Home…
Many homebuyers and homeowners face the same big question:…
From refinancing and cash-out loans to HELOCs and home equity, Agave makes it sweet and simple to buy a home, save money, access equity, and consolidate debt.

Everything went perfect! Agave had plenty of options for getting home equity.

- Brendon T. in Raleigh, North CarolinaGiving you the best of both worlds: lower rates, lower costs, more options, and faster closings.
From conventional, VA, FHA and jumbo loans to flexible home equity programs, Agave makes it easy to find the right loan for your needs — all with low rates and a simple, online process.
Conventional loans are available for both home purchase, rate and term, and cash-out refinances. First-time homebuyers can put as little as 3% down. Fixed-rate terms from 8 to 30 years and options to eliminate PMI.
VA loans offer purchase and refinance options for eligible veterans and active-duty service members. Benefits include 0% down, no PMI, flexible income requirements, and streamlined refinancing through the VA IRRRL program.
FHA loans support home purchase and refinance, including the simplified FHA Streamline refinance. With low down payment options and relaxed credit standards, this HUD-backed loan is ideal for first-time or lower-credit borrowers taking cash-out.
Use a home equity loan or HELOC to tap into your home’s equity. These products are ideal for a cash-out refinance alternative, covering renovations, debt consolidation, or major expenses without changing your existing mortgage.
We make home loans simple by combining the best of both worlds — we fund loans directly and shop top lenders for you. That means lower rates, faster closings, and more options.

We provide the options, you make the choice. Our home loans are backed by expert guidance, competitive rates, and complete transparency.
Modern tools and a streamlined process help you close quickly without the confusion or extra costs.
We provide a wide range of mortgage solutions, including refinancing, purchase, home equity loans, HELOCs, Jumbo, VA and FHA loans, Conventional, manufactured home loans, and non-QM options. Our role is to help you understand these choices and suggest what may fit your goals.
A refinance replaces your existing mortgage with a new one, often to change your rate, term, or loan type. A home equity loan or HELOC lets you borrow against the equity in your home without changing your current mortgage. We’ll help you compare both approaches so you can decide which aligns better with your situation. These options are common for consolidating debt and financing home renovations.
We’re both a mortgage broker and a lender. That means we can shop multiple lenders and banks for competitive rates and programs while maintaining more control over the loan process. Our goal is to explain the pros and cons so you can choose what works best for you.

"Excellent customer service. These guys even answered questions on Saturday and Sunday. We had a 3 week closing but would have been a week earlier if a lien holder on our house didn't drag their feet on getting us a payoff letter. These guys are top notch! We recommend anyone in AZ to give these guys a try! You won't be disappointed."
