Getting a Mortgage

It is very important to research your mortgage company before dealing with them. Don't be afraid to ask any questions you feel necessary and if anything strikes you as odd, make sure you comment on it. Be sure to ask for references from satisfied customers.

There are several ways to secure a mortgage. You can get one directly by working with a mortgage company, or you can go to a bank, credit union or savings and loan. I can help connect you with a reputable mortgage lender.

Many home buyers choose to arrange financing before shopping for a home and most lenders will "pre-qualify" them for a certain amount. Pre-qualification helps buyers to focus on homes that fit their plans and budget. Nothing is more disheartening for buyers or sellers than a deal that falls through due to a lack of financing.
