The best place to start the mortgage process is to connect with us directly as soon as you feel comfortable. The mortgage process is personal. Getting started early means you have more time to put together a great plan to get a mortgage.
Sorting through all the different mortgage lenders, rates, terms, and features can be overwhelming. Let’s talk through your financial situation, assess your needs and put a plan together that you feel comfortable with.
With a plan in place, when it comes time to actually securing mortgage financing, the goal is for you to know exactly where you stand at all times. If you have questions along the way, please connect with us anytime!
Working with an independent mortgage professional will allow you to assess your creditworthiness, provide insight on how a lender will view your income, help you plan for a down payment, and nail down exactly how much you can afford to borrow.
Building credit takes time. It’s not something that happens overnight. If you’re looking to build a credit file to secure mortgage financing, you’ll want to get started right away.
Figuring out what you can afford, understanding your cash flow, and getting a pre-approval are a few of the steps you should take to ensure a smooth home purchase. Learn what else you should consider.
Even if you have a great job, excellent credit, and money in the bank, you shouldn’t assume that you’ll be guaranteed mortgage financing. Once the mortgage process has started, the lender will always assess the property you’re looking to purchase. Learn what the property matters to the lender here.
Credit is the ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that you will make payments in the future. When you borrow money to buy a property, you’ll be required to prove that you have a good history of managing your credit.
A preapproval is the first look at your overall financial health. It is used to point you in the right direction before you’re ready to apply for a mortgage. Learn more about the preapproval process here.
A fixed-rate mortgage has your interest rate “fixed” for a certain term, anywhere from 6 months to 10 years, with the typical term being five years. Learn more about fixed and variable rate mortgages here.
Understanding the source of your downpayment plays a part in a lender’s assessment of your suitability for mortgage financing. Learn more about how the source of your downpayment impacts your mortgage application.
Choosing a mortgage with a low rate is part of reducing your overall borrowing costs, but it’s certainly not the only factor. Learn more about what you should consider when securing mortgage financing.
Confidence, too. And the confidence that comes with having the numbers on your side starts with having the right people on your side. People who speak numbers, speak your language and whose reputations speak for themselves. People who understand your goals and work with you to meet them. People like you. For trusted financial advice and service that makes you feel like you belong, please connect anytime, it would be a pleasure to work with you!
