5 Things That Make a Great Mortgage Lender

It is estimated that more than 6 million people will become homeowners this year, and according to The National Association of Realtors, approximately three-quarters will use a mortgage when financing their purchase. In addition, millions more will be refinancing their homes this year, which creates a need for mortgage lenders to finance.
When shopping for a mortgage at the Lake of the Ozarks , it’s definitely important to get a competitive mortgage interest rate, but you also want to have a professional and experienced mortgage lender working with you. Here are 5 things a great mortgage lender can do for you:


1. A Great Mortgage Lender Knows His Clients by Asking Questions
In order to give an accurate mortgage quote, a mortgage lender will  first need to collect information from you. A good lender should be expected to ask questions about your credit rating, property type, how long you expect to own the home and uses for the home, among other questions. A great lender can use this information to offer multiple mortgage options that are right for your needs, and explain what each loan option means for you.


2. A Great Mortgage Lender Guides  You Through The Process

A great  mortgage lender knows their products and the industry very well, and will be able to explain them to you. As a homeowner, you are responsible for every document that you sign and should know what you are reading. A great mortgage lender will want you to understand exactly what you are signing.
      


3. A Great Mortgage Lender Can Problem Solve And Close On-Time


A great mortgage lender is accustomed to dealing with unexpected glitches that can arise, and “glitches” are more common than you may think. You will want a lender that can overcome any obstacles or find alternatives to issues that may arise.
       

4. A Great Mortgage Lender Will Make Sure You Are Comfortable


Just because you are approved for a specific loan amount does not mean it is right for you. If you technically can afford the mortgage but the potential payments are a little too high, a great lender will find a way to make it more comfortable for you in the form of a different program, smaller loan size or perhaps they can offer some budgeting help. A great lender’s priority is making sure that you are confident and comfortable with the payments you will be making.

       

5. A Great Mortgage Lender Is In Touch With You The Whole Way


Whichever preference of communication you prefer, whether it is by phone, email, text or a call to your office, a great lender will be willing to accommodate what works best for you. A great mortgage lender will keep in contact with you throughout the entire mortgage process and return your calls or emails promptly. You will always feel comfortable with a Lake of the Ozarks mortgage lender who doesn’t leave you waiting on a return call for any questions you may have.
