Looking For A Lender?

Whether you are looking to purchase a home or refinance you want to make sure the lender you work with is reputable, and local!  If you don’t know where to start ask your Realtor, family, friends, or coworkers for recommendations of a lender.

There are several key factors which you want to keep in mind when looking for a lender, other than the fees involved or interest rates

You want to make sure the lending institution has a local brick & mortar office where you can go in and talk to someone face to face.  While internet banking is a great thing, there is something about being able to talk to the same person every time, in person if that’s what it takes to get the job done/

The lender you use should have a reputation for knowing the ever changing lending rules, the different types of loans available to borrowers as well as a reputation for getting the job done.

The lender should also return phone calls/email messages, as well as keep you updated as to what is going on during the loan application process.

These are just a few tips that may help the financing process.

Time is running out!

Today is March 1st!  With the beginning of March we have many things to look forward to, warmer weather, St. Patrick’s Day, Spring Break, and the Spring housing market.

If you plan on taking advantage of the extended/expanded tax credit, you only have 60 days left to get your home under contract.

Since time is running out it will be beneficial to you as a buyer to make sure you are pre approved with a lender, that way you are positive of the price range you can be in, as well as having the preapproval letter to submit with an offer you would make.  Having that letter showing that you have your financing in place puts you in a much better position as a buyer than someone who doesn’t have the preapproval letter.

The countdown is on, will you get the home you want & the tax credit?

If you need help finding that perfect home, feel free to contact me at www.dawnwhalen.com, dawnwhalen@kw.com or 317-893-0648
