How to Choose the Best Mortgage Advisor

Are you seeing advertisements online, in the mail, and in the news about super-low interest rates to buy a home or refinance your mortgage? In today's episode, I am going to walk you through a concept that I call ‘advice over price’, to help you find the best mortgage lender who truly has your best interests at heart, and will explain the differences between the "lowest rate" and the loan that actually best fits your needs.
I am sharing a story where one of my clients was convinced to go for a lower rate as published in the newspaper vs the prices I offered. Often, there are hidden costs that might lure you into the mortgage offer but they don’t give you all the information. Tune in to know what happens next!
