Privacy Policy
At Next Key Mortgage, we are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This policy explains how we handle your data.
1. Information We Collect
Next Key Mortgage collects information you provide when you submit a mortgage application, request information, or contact us. This includes:
- Personal identification information (name, address, date of birth, Social Security number)
- Financial information (income, assets, liabilities, credit history)
- Contact information (email address, phone number)
- Property information related to your loan inquiry
- Device and usage information when you visit our website
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to process mortgage applications, match you with appropriate loan programs, communicate about your loan, comply with legal and regulatory requirements, and improve our services.
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as necessary to process your loan application, including with lenders in our network, credit bureaus, appraisers, title companies, and regulatory bodies as required by law.
4. Credit Inquiry Disclosure
Submitting a full mortgage application authorizes Next Key Mortgage and its lender partners to obtain your credit report. A full pre-approval involves a hard credit inquiry, which may temporarily affect your credit score.
5. Data Security
We use industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption to protect your data during transmission. Our application portal complies with federal financial data security standards. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. You may also opt out of marketing communications at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@nkm.bhblives.com.

Next Key Mortgage is an Equal Housing Lender. We are committed to complying with the Fair Housing Act and all other applicable fair lending laws. We do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, handicap, age, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Your Step-by-Step Path to Home Ownership
Full pre-approval requires a hard credit pull, which may temporarily affect your credit score. This allows us to provide the most accurate loan commitment possible.
Define Your Goals
Determine if you are buying, refinancing, or investing. Know your budget, desired location, and timeline before reaching out to a lender.
Check Your Credit
Review your credit report for errors. A higher credit score means better rates. Most programs require a minimum 580-620 score.
Gather Financials
Collect W-2s, tax returns, pay stubs, and bank statements. Self-employed borrowers will need 12-24 months of bank statements.
Get Pre-Approved
Submit your application to Next Key Mortgage. We run a hard credit pull and shop 250+ lenders to find your best rate and program.
Start Shopping
With your pre-approval letter in hand, work with a real estate agent to find homes within your pre-approved budget.
Make an Offer
Your pre-approval gives sellers confidence. Once your offer is accepted, your loan moves into underwriting.
Underwriting
Our team coordinates the appraisal, title search, and final underwriting. We keep you updated throughout the process.
Close & Get Your Keys
Sign your final documents, pay closing costs, and receive your keys. Congratulations, you are a homeowner!
