    Making A Difference In Your Future Wealth - Blog by Keith Uthe Demystifying Mortgages

    When it comes to making changes to the way people perceive mortgages and wealth, we work with many of them to avoid making mistakes that could cost and impact them for the rest of their lives.

Many think using a mortgage broker costs them money when in fact, in most instances, it costs nothing with only some special situations, where paying a commission is required. When borrowers don’t work with a mortgage broker, what they end up discovering is that they have cost themselves more in the long run because they did not have someone who clearly understood their situation. That is someone with knowledge and information that could guide them to the best mortgage for their needs.

  • The Truth About Mortgage Pre-approvals

    The Truth About Mortgage Pre Approvals - Blog by Keith Uthe Demystifying Mortgages

    If you want to purchase a house but are unsure about how much you can spend, knowing which homes are within your range is difficult. For example, you might find a property that looks exactly like your dreams but have no idea about whether it’s a realistic option for your budget. In such cases, it helps if you get a pre-approval. A pre-approval means that a lender has agreed, in principle, to lend you a specific amount towards the purchase of a house. However, they have not yet proceeded to the final approval. A pre-approval allows you to know the maximum funds available to you so you can narrow your search and negotiate with more certainty.
