Don't Make This Costly Mortgage Mistake!

Don't Make This Costly Mortgage Mistake!

This week's "Ask the Realtor" is not a question per se but rather an opportunity to discuss some interesting findings by a recent Zillow survey. See the article linked below.

Prospective home buyers spend about as much time researching new TVs as they do mortgage lenders

You read that right! People spend as much time researching TVs, vacations, or even new car purchases as they do the mortgage on their home purchase. This could be a very costly mistake! The best recommendation for clients I have as a Realtor is to interview a few different lenders to see who you like (or, who seems to be a good fit for your personality!) and also who will offer the best opportunity (financial and otherwise) given your individual financial situation. 

In addition, finding someone who can and will take the time to explain the process of obtaining a mortgage from start to finish is also important so you don't feel overwhelmed by the process. 

Once you start shopping, consider communication styles. Find someone you feel communicates in a way that keeps you in the loop as you need. 

If you want to get started but don't know any lenders to talk to, simply send me an email and I'd be happy to refer you to the lenders I work with. 

*I don't receive any kickbacks from referring you to a lending partner (that's highly illegal!). Rather, I can rest assured knowing you'd be taken care of by someone I trust.*
