We work very closely with a network of established and trusted brokers that work tirelessly to qualify home buyers for the loans they need!
A mortgage is a lein on a property or home that secures a loan and is paid in installments over a period of time; typically 30 years for most home buyers.
In simple terms, a mortgage is your guarantee to the lending bank that you will pay the money they have loaned you to buy your home (with interest) over a set period of time. The home you just purchased is held as collateral until your mortgage has been paid off.
Mortgage brokers work with a variety of lenders to find the appropriate mortgage loans that match the borrowers needs. A mortgage broker does not loan money.
In simple terms, a mortgage broker is a middle man that shops your loan around to lenders and does the leg work to find you the best loan possible. Since some mortgage brokers literally work with hundreds of lenders, they are extremely useful to borrowers that may have special needs (like bad credit).

If you are thinking about purchasing Las Vegas Real Estate, now is the time to take a good look at your credit and clean up anything outstanding.
First, make sure you do not apply for any loans or have your credit checked too frequently during the time you are looking for a mortgage. This will send red flags to lenders and may reduce the amount of the loan or disqualify you from receiving one altogether! If you have any outstanding balances, late payments or charge offs, this is the time to try to clean them up to increase your credit rating. Many lenders will not extend a loan until your credit is fairly clean with no outstanding late charges.
The amount of the loan you are approved for will give a good idea of the price range of Las Vegas Real Estate for which you should look.
When purchasing Las Vegas Homes, the amount of down payment you have will help determine the cost of the home for which you should look. It is advisable to get pre-qualified for a mortgage before trying to find the Las Vegas Real Estate options that you most desire. This is a great time saver. There is nothing worse than getting your heart set on Las Vegas Homes that are too far out of reach of your budget.
Also, you may be surprised at what you can afford.
When getting a mortgage there are two types of loans you can get; fixed rate or variable.
A fixed rate mortgage dictates the interest rate for the life of the loan whereas a variable interest rate can change depending on market conditions. We can help you with determining which type of mortgage may be best suited for you. With our years of experience in valuing homes and our familiarity with the Las Vegas Real Estate market, we can explain the advantages and disadvantages of each and give you a valuable historical perspective.
The type of lender you choose should also be taken into consideration when searching for a mortgage.
There are various lenders and depending on your needs, various advantages and disadvantages of each. Look at your credit, down payment ability and monthly payment expectations before choosing a lender. If you have poor credit, low credit, a small down payment or require a particular monthly payment, there is a lender that will likely be able to accommodate your needs however, it is safe to assume in this situation that you may not get as good of a loan as someone with outstanding credit and a large downpayment.
It is important to shop around and get as much information about each lending institution as possible before making a final decision.
We recommend using a mortgage broker to help you find the best deal given your situation. They will take all of the guess work out of this important process and ensure that you do not walk into something that may bite you in the rear end down the road!
