We have all seen the TV ads for how easy it is to get a mortgage with the touch of a button. Is it really that simple? The complicated answer is yes and no. Technology has certainly made the mortgage application process more streamlined with the creation of apps and easy online application processes but there are some key components that you may still be craving and can't get online. Here are a few of the advantages as to why a combination of technology and humans may be the best approach for you.
Addressing the Needs of the First Time Home Buyers
Purchasing a home is a big investment and for many first time home buyers it may their biggest purchase yet. By having a sit down meeting with a mortgage lender, you can learn all the ins and outs of the process. In return, the lender can learn more about you and your family's needs to be sure that you are given the best options available for your circumstances. You can be sure that you will have someone on hand who you can call to ask questions.
Another key aspect first time buyers should consider if they are thinking of going the online only route is the reputation and longevity of the online lender. Many online only lenders have not been in the business very long. Is their process clear and transparent? Have they processed all the necessary paperwork? First Savings Mortgage has almost 30 years of lending experience in the DC Metro area, you can be sure that you are getting quality service.
Combining Technology and the Personal Touch
Some of our clients would prefer to start the process online but have access to a lender for the more detailed nuances of the process. Our online prequalification system allows you to start the process from the comfort of your home or elsewhere. Once your prequalification is complete, a home lender will contact you directly. This doesn't mean that you have to come to the office each time there is paperwork or there are documents that need to be transmitted. We will work with you to make your experience personalized to your level of comfort with technology. Our individualized service also ensures that your information is protected to provide you with the privacy, speed and accuracy you expect in the mortgage lending process.
