I really pride myself in being able to post valuable information here to help home buyers and sellers avoid many of the pitfalls that are out there when buying and selling homes in Edmond.
But when it comes to buying, there’s one piece of advice that I think may be more important than anything else I could ever suggest… get a REPUTABLE, RELIABLE mortgage broker or banker. Don’t just bite on the one with the dream deal. Chances are, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Secondly, if you have a gut feeling that something’s not right with your broker/banker, by all means, check around. Get recommendations!
As a very active Realtor, I get the chance to experience the good, the bad & the ugly, and you can bet that when a buyer asks me where to get their mortgage, I’m going to send them to the ones I know to be honest and reliable. Your move is on the line, and so is my income! If I connect you with a shady or unreliable broker, you don’t get to move on time, and I don’t get paid on time. How’s that for honesty?
There are plenty of clowns out there, so please take the advice of your trusted advisors and use a lender that has a good reputation with those of us who sell homes every day!
p.s. this post was inspired by a good friend/client of mine who was just told today, 4 days before closing, that his lender can’t get the deal done for him… now we’re scurrying to get him with a guy that can be counted on and trusted
