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.

DO: Read the fine print
DON'T: Sign on the dotted line without reading the terms and conditions. There may be hidden fees or clauses that could come back to haunt you later.
DO: Be prepared for unexpected expenses
DON'T: Assume everything will go smoothly. There may be unforeseen expenses, like a leaky roof or a broken furnace, that can quickly drain your savings. Be sure to budget for these types of surprises.

DO: Have a good sense of humor
DON'T: Take everything too seriously. Yes, buying a house and getting a mortgage can be stressful, but try to find the humor in the situation. After all, laughter is the best medicine for a stressful day.

Client Review
"Extremely professional and diligent. We had several issues with the processing and Jeffery handled each one with lot of care and constantly communicated all the processes. Always available to answer any questions. We felt like a personal friend handling our case that is the level of service he brought to the table. Thank you Jeffery for the amazing experience and I hope to do more business with you and send in everyone I come across your way."

"Jeffrey Singer was very professional and personable. I lost my dad this year and I am still recovering from a serious car accident. This is my first time every purchasing property so I had no clue about how this whole process worked. Jeffrey ensured I knew every step of this housing purchasing process. I asked a lot of questions and I had a great dear of fears and concerns that he elevated with sound and expert advise. He was very organized and paid attention to details of all the paperwork"

"Very good service."
