Illustrative math only. This tool is not a rate quote, an offer of credit, a preapproval, or lending advice. The rate shown is an assumption you choose, not a rate offered by Cody Touchette or Movement Mortgage. By default, figures reflect principal and interest only. If you include taxes and insurance, the property tax rate, homeowners insurance, and HOA amounts are illustrations you set, not estimates of your actual tax bill, an insurance quote, or your association's dues. Mortgage insurance is never estimated or included. Actual rates, payments, and eligibility depend on a full application, credit review, and market conditions. Your scenario lives only in this page's address; nothing is stored or sent unless you choose to share it.

Good questions are welcome
You do not need to have the process figured out before reaching out. That is what the conversation is for.
Ask Cody a questionStart with your goals, timing, income, and budget, not a specific loan product. Cody can help identify the next useful step and explain what information will matter before you decide how to proceed.
Yes. First-time buyers can begin with questions and learn how the process, documentation, available loan options, and qualification requirements fit their situation.
Cody is based in Kirkland and works with clients across Kirkland, Bellevue, and the greater Seattle Eastside. His Movement profile also lists licenses in multiple states; see the licensing section below for the current official list.
Self-employed income often requires a closer look at documentation and the full financial picture. Cody can review your situation and explain which paths may be worth exploring. Qualification is determined case by case.
A conversation by itself is not a credit authorization. Before any credit-related step, ask Cody what will happen, what permission is required, and how that step fits the process.
Start with the reason you are considering it. Cody can help you compare the available information and understand whether the next step makes sense for your goals. Rates, products, and eligibility can change.
