You’ll need your last 2 paystubs or LES’s, last 2 years of tax returns, current bank statement, employment verification or copy of your military orders and that’s it! Active duty military and Veterans, don’t worry about filing for your VA certificate, our local lenders will do that for you. By following this step, you'll be sure to spend more time actually looking at homes when you arrive in Alaska.

Pre-approve with an in-state lender. An in-state lender is a key decision in getting financing for your future home.  Alaska lenders are familiar with many of the nuances of our market and are less likely to let deals fall through due to Alaska-specific issues we see every day.  Plus, an Alaskan lender is capable of originating Alaska Housing Finance Corporation loans, offering Alaskans great financing alternatives and discounts for energy rated homes.  Listed below are some trusted mortgage loan specialists in Alaska:
