Buying a home: finding it, financing it, insuring it – and all the other steps involved – isn’t a simple process.
Helping you understand that process is part of my job as a mortgage broker, and this blog brings you info you need in bite-size pieces. So my last few blogs have been in a series format, detailing the professionals you’ll work with through the process. The next series describes how the home financing process works, again in smaller chunks to make it a clear, easy-to-understand process.
Centum Future Mortgage Group arranges residential, commercial and construction mortgages. As a solution driven organization, Future Group believes that a mortgage solution exists for everyone, regardless of income or credit concerns. We believe that every consumer deserves the best rates, care and service when purchasing or refinancing a home or business.
The final installment of this seven-part series lists what information you should have at hand when you do the mortgage application.
Enjoy and, as always, I would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have regarding the purchase of a home or on how best to finance the purchase. Please contact me at 519-649-2502 Ext 3, bruce_smith@centum.ca
