A high approval share with a small median loan usually points to a lender comfortable with first time and FHA borrowers. A large median loan with conventional and jumbo programs points to a move up and jumbo specialist. The health grade says whether a bank or credit union is financially sound; it says nothing about service, which is what the reviews below are for.

Attorneys customarily handle closings in New Jersey. Graduated seller paid realty transfer fee of roughly $2 to $6.05 per $500 (about 0.4 percent to 1.2 percent, higher on sales over $350,000), plus a seller paid mansion tax on homes over $1 million that since July 2025 runs 1 percent from $1 million to $2 million and rises in tiers to 3.5 percent above $3.5 million.
