Shopping for a Lender

A very important part of purchasing a home is finding the right lender. Below are some characteristics you should look for when choosing a lender.

Questions to ask while shopping for your lender

• What is his/her reputation within the community?

• How many loans do they close each year?

• Is the company well known in the area?

• How long has the company been in business?

• Does the lender have access to a wide variety of loan packages?

• Can the interest rates be locked in and for how long?

• Does the lender offer your loan product (FHA, VA, Specialty, etc.)

Things to be aware of when shopping for a lender…

Quoted rates over the phone are rarely locked prices. Rates can be subjected to change unless they are predetermined for a specific period of time.

Interest rates can change daily. A quote you receive today may not be the quote you receive tomorrow.

The interest rate you are quoted over the phone may not be a program that will fit your needs or situation.

Many lenders will discount their posted rates for well qualified customers.

Getting Pre-Qualified

It is recommend that home buyers are pre-qualified with a lender before selecting a home to purchase. This way you will be ready, willing and able to make an offer on your desired home.

Reasons to get pre-qualified…

With pre-qualification, you can determine which loan program best fits your need and which programs you qualify for.

You will know exactly how much you are qualified for. It’s no fun to find your ideal home and then realize that you can’t afford it.

Your monthly payment will be estimated. This will allow you to begin outlining your budget.

It estimates what your down payment and closing costs will be.

If you are a first-time buyer, you may be able to qualify for a special firsttime buyer program.
