Why should I use a Broker?You should start shopping for a mortgage months before you plan to go house hunting in case there are errors on any of your credit reports that need to be fixed. You are entitled to one free copy of your credit report every year from each of the three major credit-reporting companies; Equifax, Trans Union and Experian.
To get the most options.
A mortgage broker is able to take your current financial and credit situation and find a bank that fits your needs instead of you the consumer wasting valuable time trying to meet the banks criteria.
A broker has access to hundreds of different programs from a variety of lenders. This enables the broker to match your specific needs much more closely than a direct lender with a limited set of products available.
When buying your first home you need to make sure you get pre-approved for a mortgage loan before you do anything. Getting a pre-approval first will let you know how much you can qualify for, what price range of a home to look for, how much down payment will be required, and your realtor will need to have this generally before they will allow you to put in a bid on a home. Your mortgage broker can be a great source of information to help you with your first home loan transaction also, and guide you through the process so that you feel comfortable and knowledgeable about what is going on.
Buying your first home can be a huge, confusing process. It is important to find both a mortgage professional and a real estate agent who will take the time to thoroughly answer your questions and address your concerns throughout the process. Doing so will greatly reduce your stress and improve your satisfaction when the sale is complete.
I enjoy working with first time home buyers. I would like to share that excitement with you, while working my hardest to reduce your stress and anxiety.
