Mortgage pre-qualification and mortgage pre-approval are not the same!

When it comes to the former, the applicant provides information to the lender, such as income, employment, existing debts, etc.

This information is enough, in most cases, to pre-qualify the applicant for a mortgage.

However, this information is not yet VERIFIED, which means the applicant is not yet approved, and information may arise to disqualify the applicant.

To avoid this, go after pre-approval – that is, have your information verified first.

Let us know if you have any questions or need any assistance – we are always here to help :)

Mortgaging a home is a serious endeavor, one that requires extensive planning, strategizing, and commitment.

So for all the homeowners out there, please do us a favor and share your wisdom with the class:

What did your mortgage plan look like when you first bought your house, and how has it changed since then?

“The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” - Maya Angelou

You deserve a safe place to retreat to, a soft place to land, a shelter during the harshest of storms.

We want to make sure that you do.

If you’re on the hunt for a home but need a little help getting your hands on the keys, send us a message or give us a call. We’re happy to tell you more about the lending services we have to offer :)

Looking to borrow some cash to make that life changing purchase?

Could be a car, a pizza oven, a workspace, a fancy toolkit, or even a house…

Before you go rushing into the lenders office pen in hand, have a look at these tips for responsible borrowing:

-Spend time looking at your options, researching what offers are available and getting advice. Perhaps you need the loan quickly and you feel like there is no time – but the wrong decision can have you paying for years in the future.
-Always find out the total amount you will have to repay when borrowing. A shorter repayment period may beat a slightly lower Annual Percentage Rate (APR) amount.
-Know the difference between secured and unsecured loans. With a secured loan you can lose your home if you don't consistently make payments
-Make a budget to ensure you will be able to afford making payments
-Watch out for interest free deals. They seem great, but are only interest free if you pay them off within a certain time period. If you don't pay them off in time, the interest rate goes through the roof!

It's a dog eat dog world out there, so avoid the loan sharks and come out to see us. We will give you the assistance you need, without the shady hidden fees :)

For all the mortgage moguls out there…

It’s time to put your knowledge to the test ;)

[The word ‘mortgage’ comes from the French word ‘mort gaige,’ which means ‘dead pledge’.]

Mortgage mania!

For most people, the best option for buying a house is to take out a mortgage. But what exactly does that mean?

A mortgage is the agreement between you and a lender, which gives the lender the right to take your property if you are unable to repay the borrowed amount plus interest.

I know, right? Pretty heavy.

So it's very important that you take the time to get yourself the best deal possible! Here are a few things to look out for when taking out a mortgage:

-The size of the loan
-The interest rate
-The closing costs of the loan
-The lender's fees
-The Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
-The type of interest rate and whether it can change (fixed vs. adjustable?)
-The loan term (how long you have to repay the loan)
-Whether the loan has a prepayment penalty, a balloon clause, an interest-only feature, or negative amortization

Being educated about your decision is the first step to ensuring that you will be able to pay it off and own the house of your dreams!

Happy hunting!

Inflation giving you the blues?

We’re happy to help if you’re struggling to make those mortgage payments.

But we’d be even happier if you never needed to come to us in the first place – so here’s a tip you can use to save money on your mortgage:

Even though a 15 year mortgage will have a much lower interest rate than a 30 year mortgage, you are tasked with making monthly payments that are considerably more expensive – and that may be too much to handle.

So why not take out a 30 year mortgage, but pay it off quicker?

The great thing about this is, you can make payments as if it is a 15 year loan, but without the added stress and responsibility of the higher minimum payment.

That way if you ever find yourself in trouble, you’ll have a much easier time making those minimum payments.

Just watch out that your mortgage doesn’t include a prepayment penalty – that would put a serious damper on your plans.

Even though we would miss your company, we’d be happy to know that you are succeeding in building the life of your dreams, without any worry of losing your home.

After all, we are here to help :)
