Lessons from a Recession
Who says recessions are all bad? From my chair, I have noticed a silver lining through the pain and heartache people are experiencing. In the midst of the financial chaos, many are finding a new beginning. Could it be that people are realizing there are financial habits in their lives that have been destructive and need to change? Somehow, there seems to be peace and healing going on in the lives of many families as they face the realities of years of over indulgence and financial leveraging.
The Power of Advice
Expert firefighter Red Adair once said, “If you think the cost of professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur.” This adage has been used in many examples. However, in the mortgage industry this message is exceptionally true.
When shopping for a mortgage, there is far more to consider than interest rate. Like the price of a stock, mortgage rates can change from minute to minute. A rate quote provided at 10:00a.m. can be null and void by 10:15 a.m. This can make one lender appear to offer higher rates when in fact the difference is only a change in the market.
