BEFORE WE TALK

A few good questions.

What should I bring to a first conversation?

Your goals, timeline, approximate purchase price or current mortgage balance, and questions. Keep Social Security numbers, account numbers, and financial documents for a secure application channel.

Is the lowest rate always the best option?

Compare the rate alongside lender fees, points, closing costs, and the loan term. How long you plan to keep the loan also matters when weighing the overall cost.

How do I know whether refinancing makes sense?

Start with your goal, then compare the new loan’s costs and terms with your existing mortgage. A lower payment can come with a longer term, so review total costs as well as monthly savings.

Can we discuss temporary rate buydowns?

Yes—ask whether a temporary buydown is available for your loan scenario, who can fund it, and what the payment becomes after the temporary period ends. Availability depends on the lender and program.
