Securing Mortgage Financing in Northern Virginia
This Northern Virginia home buying video covers the steps taken to secure mortgage financing and the difference between pre-qual and pre-approval. It even explains PITI. When you are looking to buy a home in Northern Virginia, you need to work with a great Mortgage Lender.
Six steps to financing a home:
1. Choose a loan officer (or mortgage specialist).
2. Make a loan application and get preapproved.
3. Determine what you want to pay and select a loan option.
4. Submit to the lender an accepted purchase offer contract.
5. Get an appraisal and title commitment.
6. Obtain funding at closing.
Know your mortgage options.
Three basic factors:
1. Down payment
2. Interest rate
3. Term
Understanding your monthly payment:
Principal
Interest
Taxes
Insurance
Together, these four elements are commonly referred to as PITI.
Prequalification vs. preapproval
Prequalification is simply a rough estimate of how much you can borrow.
Preapproval involves a formal application process and provides you with a formal commitment from a lender stating how much you can borrow and at what rate.
If you would like a free copy of the book Your First Home, You can set up a free – no-obligation Northern Virginia home buying consultation at our office with The Earl of Real Estate Team.

Are You in the “VIP Buyer Group” of a Top Foreclosure Specialist?
If you’re constantly running “a day late & a dollar short” with bank owned properties, you need to change your strategy. Instead of long nights on inaccurate websites that are just “fishing” for your business, you really need to bite the bullet and realize you DON’T know all there is to know about buying a foreclosed property and you need a guide. A map. A specialist. An REO agent who has an “VIP Buyer Group” that may be a little tougher to get into, but ultimately, you get a great house at an unbelievably great price for a fraction of the effort.
Why would an agent with REAL information about great deals give it away to the dozens of investors who call each week. Well, they don’t. They have a special group of investors and home buyers who are loyal to them…and the agent is loyal right back. Most hot deal hunters are afraid of missing out on any foreclosure or insider info, so they don’t commit to an agent. These are typically the same people who will end up at a cocktail party in 5 years saying, “Wow, the deals I could have had in 2010.” Wouldn’t you rather be the one at the party talking about the deals you did get?
I hope I don’t offend anyone too much with the following statements, but the truth really needs to come out. You don’t go to your doctor, pick his/her brain about how to do a surgery, and then try to do it yourself to save money. Change the scenario and insert lawyer, CPA, etc. Top professionals in any industry deserve respect and loyalty. Contrary to popular belief, there are, in fact, top professionals in the real estate industry even in light of the black eye the industry has received in the last few years. Your job? Find one. Get referrals. Check them out online. Ask for references.
But don’t call me, ask for my hottest deals, and then tell me you don’t want to commit. I am loyal to my clients. I have an “VIP Buyer Group”. Those are the buyers that get inside my foreclosed properties BEFORE they are listed. Those same buyers know market trends before they become the “buzz” and then old news. I network with other foreclosure agents as well looking for specific properties for my buyers. I save my buyers time, huge money, and they always end up with a property in a fraction of the time they spent searching endlessly on the internet. I bring the deals to them. That’s what you should expect from your agent. But commit to your agent. Find a full time professional with up to the minute market expertise and an exhaustive knowledge of social media.
My “VIP Buyer Group” clients are prepared to discuss their financial needs, get preapproved from a respected lender who performs, are motivated, understand the market or want to learn, don’t “low ball” deals and they are a joy to work with. If this fits your buying personality, and you are excited about this real estate market, call me. Let’s see if we’re a match.
After all, don’t you really want to BUY a foreclosed home and not just look for them??????
One more thing, if you get my voicemail, send me a email. Do whatever it takes to get my attention. You’ve wasted enough time running in circles. Let’s get your home today!

Grow wealth via equity buildup, debt pay down, and value appreciation.
