Solutions - Mortgages
Your mortgage may be good, but is it right?
Who understands mortgages, really? We do as experts. We've all done them. We use them strategically. We use mortgage lending wisely for the overall plan. What you have could be good, but it might not be right.
We can use mortgage lending in combination with tax-planning and investments. Any tax or lending savings can fuel investment strategies.

How will you help me determine my long and short term financial goals and assist me in determining the "right" loan program and financing structure I should use?
Rob McCarthy will analyze your current financial picture, ask the right questions on what you are trying to accomplish now and in the future and then help set up a plan accordingly. He will advise what loan programs and structure would work best based on your long and short term goals. This is done at the preapproval appointment and reviewed once in contract or when we lock.
How will you help me understand the tax benefits of home financing for the future purchase of a home?
Rob McCarthy determines your approximate tax write offs, net tax benefit and net effective payment to compare to your current mortgage payment or rent and will show you how to realize the benefit on a monthly basis.
What is your process in assisting me so I can get my offers accepted?
Rob McCarthy does several things that include providing a preapproval in ms-word so at a moments notice you can modify the price of the preapproval to match any offer if purchasing below the pre-approved amount. He even calls the listing agent on each offer to convey the buyers compensating factors and to differentiate your offer from everyone else’s. Lastly, he helps coordinate short closings and "as is" offers with no contingencies.
What methodologies will you use to lock at the "right time" and what happens if rates drop?
