Tips For Getting A Home Loan In 2022

KNOW YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Before you begin your home loan application process, determine what you can realistically afford. Take into consideration your credit score, how much debt your currently carry, including student loans and what type of down payment your’re prepared to make.

COMPARE QUOTES.

Make sure you are familiar with interst rates, loan terms and additional fees when buying a home.

Beyond the interest rates, there are closing fees and points and commissions. You’ll want to compare these for all lenders on your list. There are several calculators available online that may help you determine which loan provides the best value.

CHOOSE A TRUSTED LENDER.

Get references from family and friends, and do your research. Check with the local Better Business Bureau, to see if there are complaints about any of the lenders you are considering.

READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

TV ads and telemarketers will often offer fast, easy home loans, but will not disclose the details.

Read the fine print. If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

ASK QUESTIONS.

When in doubt, ask for clarification. Discuss how long the loan process will take, how you will communicate and who will service your loan.

HAVE YOUR DOCUMENTS READY. Although each lender may require different documentation, you may be required to furnish the following information depending on your employment and financial situation.

Pay stubs Tax returns Financial and bank statements Copies of monthly payments such as car loans, credit cards and student loans Any other information (such as proof of additonal income) that you think will help the lender evaluate your credit request positively

5 Tips To Get Your Home Ready To Sell In 2022 When it comes to selling your home in the least amount of time and for the best price, making some small improvements can make a lasting impression on your next buyers. Follow these 5 tips to maximize your chances of getting top dollar: 1. Curb Appeal - The first thing that buyers will see is the outside of your house. Does the outside make them want to

see the inside? A well kept yard, an inviting porch, a clean driveway - all increase the likelihood that buyers will want to see more, so start here. Clean up the lawn and the driveway. Touch up or repaint the exterior. Clean gutters and keep the porches swept and inviting. Showing that the exterior of your home is well-kept will lead buyers to the assumption that the home is well-kept in general.

2. Clean, De-Clutter & Simplify - Do a deep clean to make sure everything looks its best. Keep carpets vacuumed and beds made. Make the rooms look larger by removing clutter and large furniture. Packed closets and cabinets lead buyers to believe there is inadequate storage, so clean those out. Make sure to keep all the dishes away, hang clothes neatly in closets, make sure all light bulbs work, and towels in the bath-room and kitchen need to be clean and folded neatly. Help buyers imagine their own things in your home by storing personal items such as photos and knick-knacks.

3. Refresh The Interior - This includes fresh paint, replacing outdated appliances and fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom. If it’s not in your budget to replace, you can add new hardware. If you can, replace outdated flooring or stained carpeting - or at least have them professionally cleaned. Interior paint is one of the easiest ways to freshen up your home and increase its value. Use light, neutral colors that make rooms bright and large that match any decor.

4. Consider Hiring A Home Inspector - It’s very likely that a buyer will hire one after they’ve made an offer, so being honest about your home’s condition will help you avoid any surprises or complications with the contract and closing.

5. Interview Real Estate Agents And Ask Them About Their Marketing Plan For Your Home - After you’ve done all the work to get it ready to list, an aggressive marketing plan will ensure that as many buyers as possible will see it. Most agents will list the home in the Multiple Listing Service database, on their website and on their company website. Ask them about also putting it on other top ranked real estate sites. Also, according to the National Association of REALTORS®, most buyers move within 11 miles of thier previous residence - so ask about local advertising as well.

The sign in your yard should include the agent’s information. Many add a brochure box, but it’s difficult to keep it full.

Ask about adding a text code that leads buyers to a mobile site for your home that shows more information and photos, so the information is always available to interested buyers.

Why Use A GREAT Mortgage Broker & Not A Bank?

GREAT CHOICE – When you go to a bank, you’re only being offered the bank’s mortgage products. A mortgage

broker has access to dozens of lenders. This gives you the ability to obtain financing with poor credit, past bankruptcies, self-employed & other situations that the strict banks do not want to see.

GREAT RATES – Mortgage brokers receive wholesale rates with lenders & beat the banks retail rates. Mortgage brokers have access to programs, promotions & unpublished rates you simply can’t find at the banks. Many times I can offer help with the down payments.

GREAT RELATIONSHIP – Once the bank sells you a product, you’ll likely not speak to the representative again.

Mortgage brokers take a proactive approach to show you how to pay your mortgage down faster, refinance in ways that help you make money & make sound mortgage choices. I am always available. You can call/text/e-mail me anytime-24 hours a day. Try getting ahold of your banker at 8pm or on the weekend.
