How It Works

A complete journey.
Not just a closing.

Most programs stop when you get the keys. Stonefield walks with you from first conversation to legacy planning — because homeownership is just the beginning.

The first conversation
is free.

No obligation. No pitch. Just Tyree listening to your story and giving you an honest read on what's possible — and what the real path looks like from where you are.

What you can expect

15–20 minute call at your convenience
Honest assessment — not a sales pitch
If Stonefield isn't right, Tyree will tell you
If it is, clear next steps — no mystery
Zero pressure to move forward
1

You reach out

Call, text, or email — whichever is easiest. Tyree or his team will respond within one business day to schedule a convenient time.

2

You tell your story

Where you are, what happened, what you're hoping for. Tyree asks questions — you can ask anything. This is a real conversation, not a questionnaire.

3

Honest assessment

Tyree tells you where you stand. If you're ready, great. If not, you'll know exactly what you need to address — and Tyree will point you toward what helps.

4

Your personalized plan

If we're aligned, you get a clear map of your journey — every step, every milestone, every resource. No confusion. No surprise fees. No mystery.

Three phases.
One continuous relationship.

Stonefield is the rare program that doesn't stop at closing. We guide families through the complete lifecycle of homeownership — from readiness to legacy.

1
Phase One

Pathway to
Homeownership

Getting the keys

This is where most people think the whole journey is. And it matters deeply — getting to closing with confidence, dignity, and the knowledge to own well. But for Stonefield, it's the foundation, not the destination.

Tyree and his network of lenders, realtors, and support partners walk with you through every step — from credit assessment to keys in hand.

The Outcome
"You move into your home with dignity, confidence, and the knowledge to care for it well — not just occupy it."

Phase Two · 12–18 months after closing

Legacy
Planning

Protecting what you've built

Most homeownership programs end at closing. Stonefield reconnects 12–18 months later with a simple question: "You're settled — now let's talk about what happens next."

Legacy planning isn't about dying. It's about making sure that what you worked so hard to build actually transfers to the people you love — instead of getting lost in probate, legal complexity, or family misunderstanding.

The Outcome
"Your home becomes a protected family asset — something that can be passed down, not just lived in."

Phase Three · Long-term vision

Wealth
Building

Building on the foundation

Your home is an asset. Over time, it becomes the cornerstone of a larger wealth strategy — one that can span generations. Phase 3 helps you think beyond the mortgage and toward the full picture of what your family can build.

This phase connects you with financial advisors and wealth planners who understand the specific journey of first-generation wealth builders — not generic investment advice, but guidance grounded in your family's reality.

The Outcome
"Your home becomes the cornerstone of a comprehensive family wealth strategy spanning generations."

Green, yellow, and
red lights

Stonefield doesn't approve or deny mortgages — lenders do. But we do help you understand honestly where you stand. Here's a simple framework:

🟢 Green Light
Ready to Move
  • 2+ years of documentable income
  • DTI target at or below 45%
  • Credit 620+ or clearly improving
  • Some funds for down payment path
  • Open to accountability and process
🟡 Yellow Light
Possible — Needs the Program
  • DTI a little heavy but manageable
  • Credit is bruised but rebuildable
  • Variable or self-employed income
  • Coachable and willing to document
  • Needs a 12–24 month readiness plan
🔴 Not Yet — Be Honest
Not Ready Yet
  • No documentable income path
  • Recent repeated late payments
  • DTI extremely high with no plan
  • Looking for a workaround, not a path
  • Unwilling to follow a budget or plan

Not sure which category you're in? That's exactly what the first conversation is for.
