Benefits

Why take this assessment?

Because most homeowners don’t get clear answers until they already feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure which equity option makes sense.

This quick assessment helps you:

  • See if your home equity may give you options to access cash
  • Find out if you may have a strong, possible, or limited fit
  • Compare paths like a HELOC, home equity loan, cash-out refinance, or other equity-access options
  • Understand if your options may be broad or limited based on your situation
  • Get a clear next step — not a sales pitch

Knows the business and easy to work with!

James was my mortgage broker for my 2009 refinance. He was very easy to work with and truly knows the business. I hope to work with him again in the future!

Easy, Informed, and Always Reliable!

James was easy to work with on our mortgage refinance. He has done a good job keeping us up to date on other offerings, and we do plan to use his services, again.

Listen, Explain, and Puts My Best Interest First!

I was referred to Jim (at Treeside) by a good friend and colleague. I found him to be very easy to work with. He takes the time to listen and thoroughly explain various options that are in my best interest. James is someone that I call upon for all of my mortgage needs and I highly recommend him.

Expert at explaining the all the options

Jim has done a great job working through mortgage finance options with me. I was nervous about an online mortgage, but Jim’s deep knowledge and expertise eased my fears.

Amazing job navigating the process

I worked with James as my mortgage broker in the process of buying my home back in November of 2008 right after the housing market imploded. James did an amazing job helping my wife and I navigate the challenging process of not only finding a good lender at that time, but also guiding us through the tumultuous closing process. I would recommend James strongly to anyone.

Made My Refinace Easy!

Jim, from Treeside Financial, answered my questions very quickly and accurately and was very easy to work with. He made the mortgage refinance process (more complicated with paperwork these days) as easy as possible.

Everything went smoothly and I was very pleased

I finished my loan process with James last month. Everything went smoothly and I was very pleased with the end results. James has attention to detail and puts his clients first. He takes the time to research and resolve anything that comes up. He’s also excellent at guiding clients through the process. I’ve recommended him to friends as I trust him.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

Michigan homeowners who wonder, “Should I refinance, use equity, or leave this alone?”

Does this cost anything or lock me into working with Treeside Financial?

No. This assessment is free and doesn’t commit you to anything. You’re not applying for a loan — just getting clarity.

How long does it take and what will you ask me?

About 60 seconds. Just a few multiple-choice questions about your goals, current loan details, and some basic credit profile details.

No document uploads on the assessment. If you choose to apply later, we’ll tell you exactly what we need and why.

Do I need perfect credit?

Not always. We have loan programs available from many different lenders, which means we may have a program that accomplishes your goals.

Depending on your situation, we'll determine what your options are currently and the “next best step” — or a short plan to get there.

What happens after I get my equity assessment? Are you going to spam me?

No. After you answer the questions, you’ll see your Equity Assessment and next steps right on the screen.

From there, you choose what happens next. If you want help, you can request a call with Treeside Financial. If not, you still leave with clarity and a better idea of what's possible.
