Before you begin the process of buying a home, we recommend that you interview several mortgage lenders. When you buy a home, you’re in it for the long haul. You’ll have a mortgage payment for 15, 20 or 30 years, so it’s smart to shop around. Finding a mortgage lender involves more than just getting a good interest rate – you want to work with an experienced professional who will guide you through the process and be a resource for you before, during and after your home purchase. Below are top tips to help you with the mortgage process and finding the right lender:

• Get your credit score in shape. The higher your credit score, the more bargaining power you’ll have. 
•  Know your loan options – there are many different loan products available and your lender will help you decide which loan best fits your needs.
• Get preapproved for your mortgage. In our area and market, sellers consider this an important component of a strong offer.
• Ask the right questions and read the fine print. Find out about requirements and fees, including loan origination and other costs.

Purchasing your own home is a great investment that can deliver several financial benefits like equity build-up and value appreciation, and don’t forget the pride that comes with owning your own home. A home is likely the largest investment most people will make in their lifetime, and we would be honored to be a part of that journey with you.

We’ve published a guide to help you through the basics of the home buying process, including descriptions of common terms and a checklist of discussion items as you begin your journey.
