Financing Your Home >Your Mortgage

Many homeowners overlook the mortgage payment as a tool for financial management. They get the mortgage, move in, make the payments, and pay off the loan eventually. Smart homeowners know that by properly adding to their monthly payments, even by a small amount, they can substantially reduce the term of their loan, not to mention the total interest they will pay. In fact, prepaying one full year of a standard mortgage can save thousands of dollars in interest. The key is to do it properly and to find the right lender for whom prepayment is not a problem.

More progressive lenders allow the option to add money to the monthly payment which goes directly to the principal. How much should you add? It's largely a personal decision, and it depends on your cash flow. But be mindful of the fact that the mortgage interest rate is probably the lowest interest loan you will find, so don't short yourself with prepayment only to run up credit card debt!

After working in Real Estate for several years, I have added Matt Harris as my Office/Marketing Manager. I've also brought on Dwayne Gregory (Listing & Buyer Specialist)to round out the team. Becoming a grandmother was decidedly one of my greatest achievements, but only served to fuel my passion for searching and finding the perfect home for my clients and their families. We cherish our clients because not only do they become our friends, they represent success in our professional life as well. We are humbled and greatly appreciate the opportunity to have you join this great group of people whom I have come to consider "My Team".
