Don't Go Shopping for a New Home Before You Know Exactly How Much You Can Spend!  You might have an idea of the loan payment and mortgage you can afford. But will the bank feel otherwise? It's always best to pre-qualify for a mortgage so you know exactly how much a financial institution would be willing to lend you. In the pre-qualification process, you will find out: - Exactly how much home or land you can afford. - How much cash you will need for the down payment. - The minimum down payment, and advantages of higher down payments. - What the bank feels you can afford for a monthly payment. We help buyers pre-qualify for mortgages every day. Simply fill out the form below to get started. Remember: we will respect your privacy!

Making An Offer >Keeping Your Earnest Money Safe
When you make an offer on a house, it is accompanied by an earnest money check. Earnest money is intended to demonstrate that you are "in earnest" about purchasing the property. The earnest money check is made out to the listing company. What happens to this check?
The party holding the check acts as an escrow agent until you go into closing. At that time you will receive credit for the amount of your check against the down payment and closing costs. Real estate brokers are required by law to keep escrow funds in a special account. These funds cannot be used to pay any other expenses associated with the sale. If you don't complete the transaction, the purchase contract determines the disposition of your earnest money funds. Be sure to review this part of your contract with the real estate agent.
If you are in default on your agreement, the funds may go to the sellers, so be sure that you understand the deadlines in order to avoid breach of contract and forfeiture of your deposit. If you have any questions, be sure to ask your real estate agent for advice.
