This Message is So Important, it Bears Repeating
Home buying is often spoken of as an uphill, stressful challenge ...
And while it's true that there's much to know and do during the mortgage process ... the following is also true:
Buyers retain much of the control in determining how quickly and fluidly they navigate the process.
You ask, "how?"
And while it's true that there's much to know and do during the mortgage process ... the following is also true:
Buyers retain much of the control in determining how quickly and fluidly they navigate the process.
You ask, "how?"
Education and knowledge.
Simply, borrowers that gain a working knowledge of how the mortgage process works and progresses, know what will be expected of them, and stay engaged and utilize that knowledge ... help themselves immensely prior to and throughout their mortgage process.
That knowledge is powerful. That knowledge helps during their decision-making. It helps them retain control of their destiny.
Sadly, commonly held misconceptions surrounding the mortgage process linger, both in publicly-shared stories and on the internet. All too often, these misconceptions contribute to buyers' fears and elevate the level of stress they feel when entering into home buying and financing.
Suffice it to say, as a Mortgage Originator I consider challenging and dispelling misconceptions surrounding the mortgage process absolutely paramount. As one of my main responsibilities.
So when asked what one piece of advice ... what one action ... will reap the best results for the greatest number of home buyers/borrowers, I offer:
So consider conducting some of the following searches (and a few of your own) for info and guidance:
You'll know much after reading the info offered above. But it bears repeating ...
While conducting research and homework on your own is important, the high value of seeking and working with the best source available for credible reliable financing information... a Mortgage Originator ... can't be overstated.
A Mortgage Originator will assist you in determining what is fact versus what is fiction regarding YOUR personal financial scenario. They will remove any misconceptions you may hold regarding YOUR personal prospects and options for successful financing.
The mortgage process is increasingly personal to your specific credit standing and finances and the specific home you wish to buy/finance. (Click here for more info). And comparisons to another's home buying and mortgage or application experience should be avoided at all costs.
Why?
Too often misconceptions formed and erroneously held "facts" scare people away from home buying and financing. Or they elevate the stress levels of those applying for a mortgage.
The misconceptions and source(s) of stress and fear are easily addressed by reaching out to an experienced knowledgeable mortgage professional. Whether it's credit or monetary in nature, actions and improvements made under the guidance of your Mortgage Originator can eliminate many of the challenges others face during mortgage underwriting. That, in turn, lowers the stress you may feel when seeking mortgage approval.
Why stress over things that are not true or may never occur during your financing?
Battle these and other misconceptions. Get the facts. If buying, refinancing or buying an investment property in New Lenox - Will County - Chicagoland/IL - WI, talk to me and ask your questions right away. As soon as you decide to buy.
By taking this one simple action, you can erase any misconceptions held and gain the information you need to prepare for and navigate your mortgage process as smoothly, easily, and quickly as possible.

"Don't wait until you're ready to view homes. Seek the advice and assistance of the most experienced Loan Officer you can find ... as early in the process as possible."
I can't stress this advice enough ...
The more time allowed for preparation, the better. The results of this one action can be amazing.
I'm not saying that conducting an individual and personal search for information and performing your own preliminary homework isn't important. It is. The more you know, the better.
