Why Do People Move and Sell their Houses?

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Why do homeowners go and sell their house after how many years of living in it? There are a lot of reasons why they chose to do so but nonetheless, a man’s trash is another person’s treasure.

One of the reasons why people decide to sell their house is they think that their current house is too small for them. (more…)

find a mortgage
Where is the best place to find a mortgage broker or are there better options?

Should I use a bank, an online mortgage company, or a mortgage broker? What are the pros and cons of each and please make specific reccomendations?

Your going to get many different opinions to this question. As it stands now, banks are tough to get mortgages through, think about it, b of a, wachovia, wamu, citi all reported tremendous losses recently. This means that they don’t have the capital they used to in order to lend so they have tightened their lending requirements, and rightfully so, I personally believe their requirements were too loose in prior years. They also tend to take 30-60 days to process your loan so speed could be a factor. I’m a broker myself, but I will not sit here and say broker’s are the best thing since sliced bread, yes we charge a fee, but the good ones are worth it, they work for you and they pull every single string they can to get you what you want. They have access to all the programs that the banks do and generally tend to complete a transaction quicker, but there are some brokers that do not have their clients best interest in mind, only their pay check. A good broker will get you pre-approved, pre-qualified and submitted for underwriting in 24-48 hours of application. Internet companies, I really don’t know that much, they tend to promise a lot but can fall short when it’s time to deliver. The bottom line is this, you need to have absolute trust in the professional your dealing with. Who do you believe will provide you and your family with the best service, go through all the documents with you, and close you in a timely manner. Anyone can quote you rates, but are they willing to put it in writing? Whos willing to take your application, get you preliminary docs, customize a mortgage solution that not only address’ your families needs now but in the future, get your title and appraisal ordered and closed within a respectable timeframe? A mortgage can be customized to fit your needs, don’t settle for what someone else believes how you should spend your money, explore options, ask questions, if someone tells you not to worry about it, walk away as you should worry, it’s your money and your future.
Its hard to recommend anyone as I don’t know where you are. In NC, you must be licensed and many states are moving to this requirement. Depending on your location, (state)I may be able to recommend you to either a bank or a broker as I know brokers across the country. If you want, let me know and I’ll give you some places to look into, but do your own research and find the best fit for you, good luck
