Mortgage Application Info for Boston Homebuyers



Applying for a mortgage can be a daunting experience. It's lengthy, time consuming, and over all can be quite confusing. Below are some tips to help you before you start your mortgage process for your Boston home.

Check your credit. Know your score in advance before applying. You never know what you might find on your report and it's best to know before hand then when you are in the midst of your Boston home buying experience. Check your credit well in advance so that you have time to improve your score or remove any faulty information.

Get a preapproval. The bank will look at your credit and combined with your income and assets they will determine how much you can borrow. This number is key to having before you start your Boston home search so you know your price cap. And once you find that perfect Boston home many sellers will want a preapproval with any offer.

Don't make any major changes. Now is not the time to be switching jobs or opening up any new lines of credit. Both of these changes are red flags while trying to obtain a new home loan. It is also not a good idea to have a big deposit within several months before your finances are looked into. This could also set off a red flag and make you appear financially unstable.

Over the last 14 years I have grown a highly successful Boston real estate practice devoted to understanding and satisfying the needs and goals of all my clients. As a result, 90% of my business is referred from those satisfied clients.

Without the guidance of a local expert, it can be tricky to cover all of the city's vibrant neighborhoods! As a Boston real estate agent, my services extend beyond helping buyers and sellers through their transactions. I thoroughly enjoy getting prospective residents familiar with their surroundings and exposing them to the best of everything Boston has to offer.
