DON'T be FOOLED on Loan ads that say they waive the fees because it's rolled into the loan MOST LIKELY. Here I go

AGAIN. We realtors try to recommend trusted and true loan officers that we have a good rapport with and that know how to get the loan done honest and fairly AND with expertise. I'm finding some Buyers starting out their loan process online and when you need a favorable lender letter to attach to the offer; you can't get it. AND as far as communication? It's a 3 ring circus. The loan officer is in the middle of the Country, the loan processor is on the West Coast and leaves before 5:00 p.m. Heaven only knows where the Underwiter is. But MOSTLY, my concern is: Tonite my Buyer & I went over the loan closing fees. The ad purports to save him over $1,100.00, I see that when we do the math; the interest rate is just a tad higher than what he could have gotten with one of my recommended lenders at par. His Principal and Interest payment is $22.83 a month MORE. DO the math: 360 payments at $22.83 more !

I LOVEIT when my clients insisting on hugging me. I'm so old-fashioned, old-world, old-school but this insistence, is SO best. Thanks

$175k downtown on the River. These are 2 units 1 bed/1 bath EACH. WAS a motel back when NOW condos. Community Pool....

High HOAs but covers so much and this one's a vacation rental. I live this complex ! Clean pool, hot tub, beautiful grounds...

$154k WESTSIDE 1 bdrm condo off of Newport ! Very close to the College/ Upstairs unit with washer and dryer included.lo HOAs

When choosing a lender.....I have a Buyer that's using who his company wants him to use to save him money, (doubtful !!) however,

this lender (Out of State) is asking for more forms to be filled out by the builder which takes time and needless to say, my Buyer is sleeping on a cousin's couch in another County wishing we could have it over and he can buy and occupy this new home he's buying. I truly feel that if your realtor has a few loan officers to choose from for your home loan; please reconsider. A personal referral means a whole lot more, especially when it comes from an experienced Realtor.
