5 Secrets You Didn’t Know About Mortgages

The big “secret” about mortgages, from the lender’s point of view, is that it’s all about competition and risk. Competition limits what a bank can charge because borrowers will look for the best deal. But competition is tempered by risk. People with good credit scores – evidence that they habitually pay their bills on time – are better risks than people who don’t, no matter the reasons, so they usually get better rates.

Whatever your situation, here are some things you may not know – but need to – when getting a mortgage. Be sure to keep them in mind.

Banks Don’t Provide Proper Pre-qualifications, Mortgage Brokers Do

Mortgage tip of the week & food for thought for those who are considering house hunting…

First time home buyer should confirm their eligibility to purchase through a mortgage pre-approval in conjunction with their real estate agent. Mortgage Brokers ensure FTHB’s are pre-approved prior to searching for property so a budget is established and a pre-approval rate hold is tied down. If the client is already working with a realtor, that realtor can rest assured that the client is motivated, and looking in their appropriate price range. It saves all 3 parties involved a lot of time, and headache. A mortgage broker can be considered more valuable in this regard, as banks do not provide proper pre-qualifications based on a full application or review of documents, leaving less room for error.

If you have any questions NEVER hesitate to get in touch & stay tuned for more tips 🙂
