Hilary Jones
I am a mortgage broker dedicated to helping families across Texas achieve the dream of homeownership. I specialize in guiding first-time buyers and veterans through the mortgage process, ensuring each step is clear, efficient, and stress-free. My goal is to provide the knowledge, resources, and support clients need to make confident financial decisions.
As a mother of four and a former Army wife of eight years, I understand the unique challenges military families face and take pride in helping veterans access the benefits they have earned. This perspective allows me to serve clients with both professionalism and empathy, always keeping their best interests at the forefront.
Outside of my work, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, and contributing to my community. Helping people put down roots and build a strong foundation for the future is not only my profession—it is my passion.

BUYING A HOME IN TEXAS
Start with the property and your budget. Share the Texas county, expected purchase price and whether the home will be your primary residence, a second home or an investment. Your income, debts, credit and available down payment help determine which financing options may fit. Explore our loan programs before discussing your options with a broker.
Include taxes and insurance in your payment estimate. Budget for property taxes, homeowners insurance, any mortgage insurance and HOA dues alongside principal and interest. A Texas residence homestead exemption may reduce taxes for an eligible principal residence. Review the Texas Comptroller’s exemption guidance and contact your county appraisal district about eligibility and filing.
Research homebuyer assistance before relying on it. The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs offers mortgage and down payment assistance programs for eligible buyers. Program requirements and approved-lender participation apply. Review the official Texas Homebuyer Program for current options, eligibility and participating lenders.
COMPARE YOUR TEXAS REFINANCE
Compare the new loan with the one you have. Consider the rate, closing costs, remaining and proposed loan terms, and monthly payment together. A lower payment may come from extending repayment, so compare total borrowing costs and how long you expect to keep the loan.
Clarify whether you need cash out. A cash-out refinance secured by a Texas homestead can be subject to state home equity requirements. Tell your broker whether you want to replace the current mortgage, access equity or both so the applicable loan structure can be reviewed. The Texas mortgage regulator’s resources link to the homestead cash-out rules.
For a purchase or refinance, your mortgage broker can explain the process and documents needed. See how the home loan process works.
