Top 4 Things To Consider Before You Choose Your Mortgage

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 hi Sheila... too many buyers still think that you select a mortgage based only on interest rate. And there are so many other factors to consider.

Bill Salvatore - East Valley thank you, Bill. And thank you for popping by. Wishing you a great weekend.

Sham Reddy CRS Happy Saturday, Sham! To this day, too many buyers don't fully grasp all the steps and nuances involved in getting a mortgage. Hopefully, some will learn something from my post.

Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty hi Jeff... I learned early on how important the right lender is to a purchase right from the get go. And at the end, how important the lender remains.

Abby Stiller thanks, Abby. And I agree. No Realtor should be without at least one great lender partner.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 hi Ed... you are so right. And that's where we often spend much time without direct remuneration.

Kathy Streib absolutely, Kathy. But these days, even buyers who are not first-timers need good counseling. Things are always evolving and changing in the mortgage side of the business and what might have been "standard" when a buyer first got a mortgage isn't so standard any more. I remember the days when you really had to have 20% down and that hasn't been so in a long time... but many older people still think you need 20% down.

Lew Corcoran thanks, Lew, and thanks for popping by. That's probably the extent of my guidance... after a certain point I send them to a top lender to sort it all out. :)

Thanks, Roy.  The mortgage landscape keeps changing the way the real estate landscape keeps changing. 

George Souto good morning, George... and new compensation rules for realtors will also impact how lenders like yourself do mortgages.

Endre Barath, Jr. good morning, Endre... our preferred lenders will become even more important as the new compensation and concession rules come into play.

Brian England good morning, Brian... I think there are as many misconceptions about mortgages as there are about the process of buying a home.

Joan Cox thanks, Joan. Getting a mortgage these days can be pretty complicated with all the different options.

Bo Zivak thanks, Bo... for popping by and for taking time to leave me a comment.
