Mortgage Links, Information is Power!

I am consistently asked questions by my clients to help them understand our industry. I always give solid advice which ultimately leads to a quality loan product for my borrower. When my clients leave the closing table, they are fully aware of their product and the hard work everyone has contributed to get them into their new home.

This Blog is another resource created to educate our clients about the mortgage industry and the loan process. I've received feedback from several clients regarding websites that they found helpful during their home buying experience. I've put together a quick list of some of these useful sites. I encourage you to browse any or all of these.

http://www.realtor.com/. This is a great site to search for home listings.
http://www.zillow.com/. Featured in a previous post and can help calculate market value of your home
http://www.fanniemae.com/ They are the largest buyer of securitized mortgage paper.
http://www.freddiemac.com/ Another large buyer of mortgage paper.
www.bloomberg.com/markets/rates/ Mortgage and bond rates.
http://www.mortgage-x.com/. Helpful site for mortgage calculators and information.
http://www.bankrate.com/. More calculators and informational tools.
http://www.google.com/. Everyone has heard of Google! Use this site to search for anything!
http://www.wellsfargo.com/ Large well known bank with some nice educational content.

Be sure to check back to this blog for new postings. You can even subscribe by clicking here. Subscribing is a spam proof and virus free way to get the information you choose to review. That's what makes this blog such a good resource. Instead of searching the Internet for 20 different websites for information on residential lending, please use this forum as your resource. We'll take all the information in and make it available to you in one convenient page. You can find links on the right hand side that are updated every hour. And, we will continue to discuss new and developing trends in the industry. As always your feedback is welcome.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
