Better
interest rates! Free quotes! Money saving deals! We hear it all
countless times during just one hour in front of the t.v. We’re
well aware how many phone and auto insurance companies want our
business. Sometimes we listen, and decide to shop around. When we
move, buy a new car, or when our bills seem to escalate beyond what
we can afford, we might begin to compare our companies’ rates
and services with those making the most noise through advertising.
But experience has taught us to be wary: we know that the information
we gather when we shop around leads to smart financial decisions
only if we’re good shoppers. We have to know what to look
for, as well as when and where to look. If we do, shopping expertly
reassures us we’ve made the best financial decision we could.
For most homeowners, their mortgage represents
the biggest financial cost and responsibility of their lifetimes.
We may feel comfortable trying a new long distance carrier, but
isn’t refinancing our mortgage too complicated or risky? In
truth, the very same reasons you may be wary of refinancing are
those that should guide you in considering it. Your home loan is
too important to be “status-quo,” with terms reflecting
economic circumstances of the past. For many of us, a lot more than
we realize is at stake. With even a slight interest rate reduction,
tens of thousands of dollars can be saved. Will you be paying an
extra $20,000, $30,000 or $40,000 in interest over the life of your
home loan? What could you afford with a lower monthly payment? How
much could a tax-deductible home equity loan save you in high interest
credit card debt? How much faster could you be free and clear of
debt with a new mortgage?
Once you’ve accepted that tapping into
your equity reserves may be a strategic move or perhaps settling
for your present mortgage’s terms might not be in your best
interest, consider a second reason to investigate shopping around:
mortgage lenders want your business. They are in competition with
each other just like phone and auto insurance companies, and will
make competitive offers that can save you thousands of dollars.
When you know what to look for, you can not only shop and compare,
but negotiate. Not only can you negotiate for the best possible refinancing terms, but for the lowest possible closing costs and
fees associated with the mortgage or equity line, as well. With
home loans, being a smart shopper can pay off in more ways than
one.
Real-Estate-Yogi.com provides a free, no obligation
service to help you start the investigating process: simply fill
out the short questionnaire at the bottom of this page. Your information
will be sent to our affilaited mortgage lenders (generally two national
lenders and one or two local lenders) that will contact you directly
to give you their best offers. Since they already know other companies
will be competing to gain your business, you can feel comfortable
knowing you’re shopping smart.
You may choose to do business
with the lender that offers the lowest closing costs. Perhaps you
will choose based on how helpful the loan specialist is in answering
your questions. Maybe the company that is closest to you demographically
is the one you prefer. That is the true essence of Real- Estate-Yogi.com’s
unique service: to disclose to financing companies that you are
smart shopping in a competitive market where you, the consumer,
is in charge! In addition to your lenders, we are always available
to answer any questions you might have should you decide to call
or contact us.
