about me
Hello, I’m Javier Esquerre, Bilingual Loan Officer at Supreme Lending.
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to help more than 1,500 families purchase or refinance their homes; each one representing an important milestone and a story I’m proud to be part of.
I work with a wide range of loan programs, including primary residences, investment properties, new construction, condos, manufactured homes, HELOCs, and reverse mortgages. Every client’s situation is different, and I believe the lending process should reflect that. My approach is always tailored, strategic, and built around your goals.
I’m also proud to serve a diverse community, offering bilingual support in English and Spanish and working with clients from all backgrounds, including those navigating non-traditional financing paths such as ITIN loans.
At the core of everything I do is a commitment to clear communication, accessibility, and transparency. My goal is simple: to make the lending process smooth, efficient, and something you feel confident about from start to finish, because homeownership should feel empowering, not overwhelming.

FAQs
Why should you get Pre-Qualified?
Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage is a great first step to kickstart your homebuying journey. Pre-qualification gives you a picture of how much you may afford based on your credit, income, and debt. It helps you determine your budget, understand estimated monthly payments, find the right loan program, strengthen your offer, and save time.
What is the difference between Conventional and FHA loans?
There are many differences between conventional and FHA loans. In this portion we will outline some of the major differences for you.
On FHA loans, the minimum down payment is 3.5%. On a conventional loan, the down payment may be as low as 3% depending on a consumers credit scores. Additionally, the money on a conventional loan must be “seasoned” (60 days in the bank) prior to purchasing the home or be proceeds from the sale of your existing home.
A FHA loan requires an upfront Mortgage Insurance payment (MIP); a Conventional loan does not. Both do require monthly Mortgage Insurance premiums based on the LTV.
The taxes will be the same on either type of loan. A common mistake is that people believe is their taxes will vary depending on the loan they choose. The title company that closes the loan submits the taxes directly to the lender. If you reside in an attorney state, your representation is the one who orders the tax certificate from the appraisal district. Taxes reported to the lender will be included in your monthly loan payment. There is no mark-up or service charge over and above the actual tax amount.
Homeowner’s insurance works the same as taxes. You pay the lender for your policy amount on a monthly basis. The lender will escrow this amount and send it to your insurance company at the end of the year when renewal is due.
Interest rate differences will vary depending on the lender you choose. Most importantly, ALWAYS ask for the lowest rate for the type of loan you are obtaining.
The principal and interest portion of the payment is calculated by configuring the loan amount (MIP rolled into the balance on FHA) and term into an amortization schedule to calculate the payment amount. Ask your Supreme Lending representative for additional information on conventional and FHA loans.
What are closing costs?
Closing costs are paid upfront for necessary expenses associated with purchasing a home. When
applying for a loan, you’ll receive a Loan Estimate outlining these settlement charges for added fees like loan origination, appraisal, credit report, title insurance, document preparation, prepaid interest, and other miscellaneous fees.
Which loan program is suitable for me?
There is no one-loan-fits-all. Supreme Lending offers a wide range of mortgage programs to choose from depending on what may be the most beneficial for your circumstances. Your Loan Officer may present different scenarios to see what aligns with your goals—whether a fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage, or a Conventional loan or government-backed loan, such as FHA, VA, or USDA.
What goes into a monthly mortgage payment?
What documentation may be needed?
When you apply for a home loan, several documents are requested to confirm your ability to make monthly mortgage payments. Here are a few items you will likely will need to submit:
• Income history and employment verification from the past two years, such as tax returns, W-2s, and 1099s (if applicable)
• Asset statements for bank, retirement, and brokerage accounts
• Monthly debt payments, including any outstanding loans and credit cards
• Records of rent payments, divorce, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
