A Little Effort Can Go A Long Way

November 2, 2009

Ok, so everyone is a little more focused on saving money in a down economy. Pretty much everywhere I look, people are wondering what they can get for “less” or just generally looking for the best deal.

And when you are buying a house, sometimes I feel like people look in all the wrong places to try to cut $10 off their monthly mortgage payment.

I can’t tell you how many people agonize over whether-or-not-the-should-lock-or-float their rate — and when the ask me, I just tell them that rates could go up, down or stay the same — and then what I think will happen, but I never offer a “sure bet” when it comes to interest rates.

I am a little too wise for the “I know what interest rates are going to do tomorrow” game.

And one question that rarely (if ever) gets asked by someone I am working with is “do you know of any way that I can save a few bucks on my monthly payment?”

But if they did ask… here is what I would say:

Take the time to shop around a little bit for the cheapest insurance quote that you can possibly find.

I can’t tell you how many times I ask someone if they have shopped for home insurance and they say “no, not yet…” and then they just contact one company and go with that company.

I am shocked – SHOCKED – at how different insurance policies can be from one company to another — and in today’s economy where everyone seems to be trying to make their dollar go farther…

A little effort can go a long way.

IMPORTANT MORTGAGE DISCLOSURES:

When inquiring about a mortgage on this site, this is not a mortgage application. Upon the completion of your inquiry, we will work hard to match you with a lender who may assist you with a mortgage application and provide mortgage product eligibility requirements for your individual situation.

Any mortgage product that a lender may offer you will carry fees or costs including closing costs, origination points, and/or refinancing fees. In many instances, fees or costs can amount to several thousand dollars and can be due upon the origination of the mortgage credit product.

When applying for a mortgage credit product, lenders will commonly require you to provide a valid social security number and submit to a credit check . Consumers who do not have the minimum acceptable credit required by the lender are unlikely to be approved for mortgage refinancing.

Minimum credit ratings may vary according to lender and mortgage product. In the event that you do not qualify for a credit rating based on the required minimum credit rating, a lender may or may not introduce you to a credit counseling service or credit improvement company who may or may not be able to assist you with improving your credit for a fee.
