New Mortgage Loan Comes with No Lender Fees, Great Interest Rates and a $1,000 closing credit on most loans

Posted on by

The Jason Brown Group

The important first step with most home buying processes is getting pre-approved with a mortgage lender. Buyers should definitely put some thought into who they choose as their lender because making a poor choice could lead to several costly outcomes. Some lenders have overly restrictive lending guidelines, some have high interest rates, some have high loan closing costs and all loan officers are simply not created equal. Blindly choosing a mortgage lender could lead to being on the short end of the stick on all these fronts.

Photo 2184
The Jason Brown Group knows the best lenders and loan officers serving our area and we’re up on the latest mortgage loan programs being offered to home buyers. One of the latest loans is an online loan option that comes without the lender fees typically associated with most mortgage loans. It includes no loan origination fee, no underwriting fee, no processing fee and there aren’t any additional crazy hurdles to jump through to qualify… There’s not a local loan officer to meet with but the loan otherwise includes a typical mortgage pre-approval process and works for Conventional loans, FHA loans and VA loans.

If your mortgage loan amount is greater than $150,000, as an added bonus you can get an ADDITIONAL $1,000 credit at closing, to be used to cover your third party fees such as your appraisal fee, credit report fee, etc. The lender is licensed in Kansas but unfortunately is not licensed in Missouri. If your #1 goal when getting pre-approved to buy a home is saving money, this loan is worth checking out. The loan is being offered exclusively to buyers working with a Keller Williams real estate agent and it’s a legit loan program or I wouldn’t be promoting it! Access to the lender portal for getting pre-approved, or just to get more about the loan details, can be obtained by downloading my real estate app…

Download my app here >> http://app.kw.com/KW2D8YIL. Then in the drop down menu click on the KELLER MORTGAGE SAVE THOUSANDS button (or SKIP FEES button on some mobile devices) for all the details or to start the loan pre-approval process… It’s FREE to check out, it’s a typical process to get pre-approved and there’s no commitment should you choose not to use the loan program.

The Jason Brown Group has been involved in the sale of 1,000+ metro area homes, all our agents are experienced agents and our Keller Williams office is the #1 producing office of any brokerage in the metro area…. We look forward to helping you with every step of the home buying process!

My Short List Of Best Mortgage Lenders In The Kansas City and Johnson County Kansas Area

Posted on by

The Jason Brown Group

The important first step in buying a home is getting Pre-approved with a mortgage lender. This involves contacting a lender, having them run your credit, going over details such as your income and employment history, and ultimately receiving a Pre-Approval Letter showing how much home you can afford. Choosing a lender is a very important decision that has both short term and long term consequences, so it’s not recommended to simply choose the first lender you come across. There are some critical questions that need asked about the lender and, more specifically, about the loan officer you’re considering using… Does the loan officer get 99% of their loans closed on time? Does the loan officer offer competitive mortgage interest rates? Are the fees charged by the loan officer/lender competitive with other lenders?

Photo 103045
Getting a solid mortgage interest rate is critical and will affect your mortgage payments for years to come. Interest rates also don’t just vary from one lender to another, they can vary from one loan officer to another. Many banks give their loan officers THE interest rate for the day and that’s it… Take it or leave it or check back tomorrow. Some mortgage brokers (with ability to lend funds from multiple sources) allow their loan officers to choose their compensation model, which directly affects the interest rate the loan officers offer borrowers. Yes it’s true, one loan officer could offer you a lower interest rate than the loan officer sitting in the next cubicle.  It’s simply worth checking with more than one loan officer/lender to be sure you’re in good hands.

If you’re in the market to buy a home, I have a great list of mortgage lenders that has been formed over my 20 years in the real estate industry. It’s critical to my buyers and my success that a loan officer gets the job done and lenders can and do move up and down my list over time. A few of the requirements to get on my list include being recommended from someone I know personally, having a minimum 3 years of mortgage lending experience, offering competitive interest rates, charging reasonable loan fees and the loan officer’s office being located within the metro area. From there performance is critical to be high on my list.

Hot Kansas City Real Estate Market Continues through 2nd Quarter of 2016

Posted on by

The Jason Brown Group

During the 2nd quarter of 2016, the volume of home sales has continued to rise and home sales prices have followed. As it has for around a year now, the supply of homes for sale is failing to meet the buyer demand for homes. Not only has supply not started to correct itself, the volume of inventory has continues to go down while the demand for homes has remained on the rise.

2032

Kansas City area home sellers continue to obtain a very high percentage of their asking price with most obtaining 98% to 100%+ of asking price. Closings in the metro area rose 4.9% in the 2nd quarter with 11,605 home sales this year compared to 11,065 2nd quarter of last year. There were 8,582 homes for sale during the 2nd quarter this year and that’s a huge drop from the 11,894 homes for sale at this time last year… And compared to 4 years, listings are down an incredible 40%!

Overall in the Kansas City metro area, there’s 2.8 months of inventory on the market. That volume of inventory indicates a Seller’s real estate market. At this time last year there was 4.2 months available and while that’s still a seller’s market, it’s a much stronger seller’s market right now. And 3 years ago there was 5.7 months of inventory and that amount of inventory represented a balanced real estate market. Essentially we have about HALF the number of homes available for home buyers as we did a few years ago. This is a major reason home sellers have obtained an average sales price of $186,000 metro wide, which is $10,000 higher than 2nd quarter a year ago.

The current hot summer real estate market looks very much like it will continue right into the fall, and possibly all the way through it. But there’s also a lot going in the world that could change things… And interest rates are sure to rise at some point. The election year has historically played a role in the direction of the real estate market and nobody knows for sure just how that’s going to turn out. For now, we remain in a very fast paced market. If you’re thinking about making a move, give me a call to discuss the effects our current market have on your home buying and home selling decisions.
