BAYTOWN, TX (KTRK) -- Some Baytown homeowners are concerned after they discovered that boxes filled with documents containing their personal information, including names and Social Security numbers, had just been tossed in the trash.

I can only cringe.... I know outfits like this still exist. Thankfully this one went out of business.
And do I even need to say it? These applications were taken by Royce Homes. <= I don't know about you but if I were getting a home loan, I would go to a professional loan officer.
These companies who are realtors but can also do your loan and even sign you up for credit repair or even get you a loan modification..... (I wonder if they do windows)..... Are not professional loan officers. It is hard enough keeping up with my piece of the pie that I wouldn't dare try and be a realtor too.... or offer all kinds of side services.
And the more astute buyers should be able to recognize that a professional loan officer will be good enough to make a living doing just loans. There are lots to go around right now... Biz is good!!
Don't forget about the First Time Homebuyer Tax Credit. This is not a loan.... but a tax free grant!!
