The deals worth a second look
When the file doesn’t fit neatly in the box.
The Deal Desk is built for the scenario that needs more than a quick guideline answer. It is not a promise of approval—it is a disciplined second look at the facts and available paths.
Complex income
Self-employed, bank statement, 1099, overtime, bonus, commission, or income that is difficult to document.
Credit challenges
Limited credit history, lower scores, recent events, or a buyer who needs a clearer path to mortgage readiness.
Guideline friction
High DTI, employment history, student loans, appraisal questions, or underwriting conditions creating uncertainty.
Alternative paths
Non-QM, investment property, construction, land, second mortgage, HELOC, or other non-standard financing.
Previously declined?
A “no” from one lender may reflect that lender’s products, overlays, documentation, or structure. Let’s review the scenario before the deal is written off.
Send it to ClintClear, quick, and secure
From “what if?” to a real next step.
Start with a few quick details—not a full application. Clint can then focus on the question or obstacle that matters most.

Quick answers
Before you submit.
No. This is a short Realtor scenario intake. If a formal application or documents are needed, the borrower will be directed to Fairway’s approved secure portal.
Yes. Share the non-sensitive facts and the stated reason for the decline. A second look does not guarantee a different outcome, but it can reveal questions or possible alternatives worth exploring.
Do not provide SSNs, dates of birth, account numbers, tax returns, bank statements, paystubs, or other sensitive borrower documents through this public form.
No. It is an initial-response goal. Final eligibility depends on a completed application, documentation, underwriting, program rules, and other applicable requirements.
