Don't Make This Mistake

By Joel Kaczor- Owner/Broker, First Assured Mortgage

Your realtor, friend, neighbor, or fishing buddy, aren’t going to pay your mortgage.  With so much money at stake, you owe it to yourself to find the best rate and terms available.  Being the owner/broker at First Assured Mortgage in Lawrence, KS I am committed to providing my customers the very best rates and terms available.

How did you choose your last mortgage company?  Did you get a referral from your real estate agent?  Listen to a TV commercial?  Did you just go to the bank that has your asset accounts?  Next time shop around to avoid making a potential $24,095 mistake.

According to The Ultimate Loan Comparison Tool, using conservative inputs for investment rate of return and property appreciation, a difference of just .25% in your mortgage rate can add up to big money  when  applied over 30 yrs.
