What not to Do After You Apply for a Mortgage: An Interview with Ms. Thea Simolari

What not to Do After You Apply for a Mortgage: An Interview with Ms. Thea Simolari

Good morning,

 

Today is June 25, 2010, and I had the opportunity to conduct an interview with Ms. Thea Simolar of The Mortgage Network a couple of weeks ago.

 

The topic du jour  was what not to do and what to do after you’ve applied for a mortgage loan.

 

Over the course of the time I’ve been in real estate, I’ve seen many things happen to buyers who make changes in either their employment, if financial status, or the creditworthiness.  These changes ultimately affected their ability to close on their mortgage loan.

 

During this a 15 minute interview, if you will learn the ins and outs of what not to do if you’re making a home purchase.

 

As always, if you have  questions about a mortgage or real estate related matter, please call me at 617 – 648 – 3983.

 

If you of mortgage questions, or need finance related advice regarding a property purchase or a refinance please contact Thea @ 617-699-7692.
You can always visit Thea Simolari's web site @ http://www.TheaSimolari.com
