Mortgage Do's And Don'ts
Mortgages can be tricky, and it's easy to make mistakes that can end up costing you dearly. That's why we've put together this list of Mortgage Do's and Do not's to help you navigate the process with ease - and a little bit of humor.
DO: Shop around for the best mortgage rates
DON'T: Assume your bank will give you the best rate just because you have a checking account there. Remember, loyalty is a two-way street.
DO: Have a budget in mind
DON'T: Get in over your head. Just because you can technically afford a million-dollar mansion doesn't mean you should buy one. You don't want to be house-poor and unable to afford groceries.
DO: Get pre-approved before house-hunting
.
DON'T: Assume you'll be approved for a mortgage just because you have good credit. Pre-approval is important because it gives you a better idea of how much house you can afford and shows sellers that you're serious.
.
DO: Consider your future plans
.
DON'T: Assume you'll live in your new house forever. Life happens, and you may need to sell sooner than you think. Make sure you're not getting into a mortgage that you can't realistically afford if you need to move in a few years.

I was a clueless first time home buyer who asked a lot of questions and Eric was great all the way through. I had no idea what I was doing but Eric walked me through the process to make it as smooth as possible. When it came time to figure out what type of loan and amounts to put down, Eric walked me through every scenario and showed me the financial impact of every decision. He really worked hard around my busy schedule to ensure I got the best deal out there. I don't think I'd be in my home without guidance and help!

Eric was very kind and patient with us. He was very prompt getting back to us with questions, numbers, and pre-approval letters. He tried to get the best deals for us and when he couldn't beat or match another lender.
