When buying a home some buyers are anxious, uncomfortable and
often uncertain. We will make the experience enjoyable, by educating each
buyer with the information necessary to make an excellent investment
decision.
From our initial contact we will
continually reevaluate each step of the buying process to ensure that your
goals and expectations for your IDEAL home will be met.
From our years of experience we are able to educate each buyer on the
surrounding area and the home buying process to provide the basis for a
comfortable, individualized well and informed transaction. We thank
you in advance for giving us the opportunity to work with you. For
more information please Contact Us. If by
chance you see a sign, property, see an open house, take a tour on the
internet, read an ad in the paper, or see an advertisement in a magazine give
us a call so we may provide you with the necessary information and the
exceptional service you deserve!

age, number of years of schooling, number and ages of dependents, current
address, and telephone number If you have lived at your current address less
than two years, be prepared to furnish former addresses a 2 year period. You
will also be asked to detail your current housing expenses, including rent or
mortgage payments, real estate taxes, and insurance (your mortgage payment may
include tax and insurance funds). You will need the name and address of your
landlord(s) or mortgage company(ies) for the past two years.
Employment History & Sources Of Income Your ability to make the
monthly payments on the mortgage and to afford the costs associated with owning
a home are primary considerations in our loan approval process and should be
your primary concern. Required information includes:
- At least two year's employment
history with employer's name and address, your job title or position, length of
time on the job, salary, bonuses, commissions, and average overtime
pay.
- Recent paycheck stubs and
Federal W-2 forms for two years and perhaps full Federal tax
returns.
- Records of dividends and
interest received from investments.
- If you are self-employed, full
tax returns and financial statements for two years, plus a profit and loss
statement for the current year to date.
- A written explanation if there
are gaps in your employment record due to circumstances such as illness or
layoffs, or for any other reason.
We will have you sign a Verification of
Employment (VOE) form or a general credit authorization form. This will be sent
to your employer to verify your employment and earnings. One will be sent to
previous employers if you have been on the job less than two years.
If you are relying on income from
other sources, such as rental property, Social Security, disability payments,
child support, etc., you must provide adequate proof of the source. Appropriate
documents could include cancelled checks, copies of leases, Federal tax
returns, certification of benefits, divorce decrees, and similar evidence.
