It’s happening! We’re finally starting the search for our dream home and I’ve been filled with so many mixed emotions. On one hand, this house has been our home for the past 10+ years. We grew our family here, witnessed all of our girls’ milestones between these walls, and hosted countless family get togethers we’ll cherish forever. On the other hand, the idea of making new memories in our forever home is something we’re really excited for. It’s so bittersweet.
For the past year, we’ve casually looked around and even attended a few open houses, but nothing really caught our eye. That was, until we stumbled upon two potential homes late last year we really liked. The neighborhood was great, the price was within our budget, both homes had a yard, and the size was perfect for our family of four. Sadly, we missed out on those two opportunities because of one simple mistake – not partnering with a local mortgage broker beforehand to assist with the home financing process.
Now that we’re actively looking, FindAMortgageBroker.com has been an invaluable home buying resource for us to use. There’s so much insightful information at every stage in your home buying journey whether you’re a first-time home buyer or looking to purchase another home like us. I remember how overwhelming buying our first house was and really wish I would have known about this search engine years ago.
More importantly, FindAMortgageBroker.com helped us choose from independent mortgage brokers in our area. And guess what? We found an amazing one to work with! I’ve probably asked her a hundred questions already and she has been nothing but gracious and patient. You can definitely tell she’s an expert in her field. She’s helped us create a realistic budget based on our current financial status, get us organized with all the necessary paperwork involved (and there’s a lot), and been able to shop around to find us the best home loan options available.
Honestly, she has made this entire process so smooth and stress-free. Unlike retail lenders and banks that are usually restricted to offering their own limited set of loan products,our local independent mortgage broker only has our best interest in mind. She can access dozens of lenders who offer wholesale rates to get us the lowest monthly payment available. That, in turn, means finding a mortgage specific to our financial needs.
I can’t wait to update you guys on our home buying process. I really feel like this is the year we’re going to find our forever home and I cannot wait! If you’re in the same boat as our family, looking to purchase your first home, or even wanting to understand if now is the right time to refinance your current home loan, FindAMortgageBroker.com is a great educational tool to find information and connect with an independent mortgage broker in your area. Here’s to happy house hunting!
