Buying A New House
Let's make this painless. Navigating the loan process can be tricky without the right team. My experience can help you get the unique loan that suits you. I have done hundreds of loans, and the loan process is designed to vet the borrower and make sure they fit the investors guidelines. We have 30-40 investors at any one time. You don't fit into their box, they fit into YOURS! My team and I are committed to being upfront and straightforward about the process- want to minimize any undue stress. You have worked hard to get here, so let us do the heavy lifting.
Refinance
Let’s explore the benefits of Refinancing. There’s never been a better time to refinance with rates at or near historical lows. Due to its long-term financial impact, refinancing your home could be something that makes sense for you. I often save clients thousands by simply and strategically restructuring their debt.
My Loan Process at ProMortgage

Mortgage Recurring vs. Non- Recurring Costs
Avoid surprise closing costs with these facts. There seems to always be a little confusion around closing costs when purchasing or refinancing a home. There are so many terms, numbers, and documents to consider, it may sometimes feel like your head is spinning! (Here is a quick glossary of other mortgage terms for your reference too!) I wanted to write this article to hopefully shed some light on the different costs you can expect when closing escrow or refinancing your home. You can definitely expect these costs in any real estate financing transaction you undertake, and understanding them will empower your preparation and help you avoid any financial surprises. I find it most helpful to categorize these into recurring and non-recurring costs.
10 Common Life Events That Can Keep Your Loan From Closing on Time
Keep these things in mind to save yourself time from unneeded stress in the closing process. Imagine this: You’re in contract, and you’ve been promised to close on your new home in 30 days. Once you’ve initiated the mortgage process there are a few things that can affect the outcome of your loan. The ProMortgage process is very streamlined, and it’s not overly complicated to make sure that everything goes smoothly so that you can uphold your promise to the seller; however, there are some things that may not be as obvious as they seem. If lenders have to extend their rate lock it can cost them time and money. The following are the top 10 things I suggest you avoid while your loan is in process and why not following these guidelines can result in costly frustrations.
