Mortgage Prequalification: Smith Mountain Lake Virginia home buying, real estate listings, and homes for sale in Franklin County, VA

Welcome > For Buyers > Mortgage Prequalification ...

Don't Go Shopping for a New Home Before You Know Exactly How Much You Can Spend!

You might have an idea of the loan payment and mortgage you can afford. But will the bank feel otherwise? It's always best to pre-qualify for a mortgage so you know exactly how much a financial institution would be willing to lend you.

In the pre-qualification process, you will find out:

- Exactly how much home or land you can afford.

- How much cash you will need for the down payment.

- The minimum down payment, and advantages of higher down payments.

- What the bank feels you can afford for a monthly payment.

I help buyers pre-qualify for mortgages every day. Simply fill out the form below to get started.

Remember: I will respect your privacy! I know this is your personal information, and I will not distribute it to anyone, other than to my preferred mortgage broker. This service is also provided free of charge, without any obligation on your part. It is part of my job as a top Smith Mountain Lake REALTORŽ to offer services such as these.

Once you fill out the form, I will quickly process your information and get right back to you!

First Time Buyers >Insuring Your Home

Many home buyers are concerned about whether they have an insurable interest in the property before the actual closing. The answer is an unqualified "yes". Although the buyer is not yet the recorded owner of the property, he or she has an insurable interest in the property as soon as the agreement of sale is executed by both the buyer and seller.

Should you get hazard insurance before the closing? It depends. Buyers do not usually insure a property until the title passes to them from the seller. However, it's wise to know what the agreement between you and the seller stipulates with regard to insurance.

Most agreements state that the property will be insured for a specific amount. This is very important to both parties. From the buyer's point of view, it is also critical that an adequate sum or full replacement value be stipulated. Watch out for agreements which read "as now insured". This is an all-too-common practice which usually indicates that the seller does not to want to increase inadequate insurance coverage.

As a native of North Carolina, I originally became involved in sales to put myself through school at Appalachian State University. In 1983, I moved to Smith Mountain Lake and have enjoyed a successful career as a full time Realtor for the past 19 years.

My home is at The Waters Edge with my husband, Bill, and son, Trey. In 1986, I became the first permanent resident of The Waters Edge. This has been a great source of joy for me as well as a real benefit for my customers. I live here, work here, and play here, so I know the lake and its surrounding areas. My goal is to help my customers find the perfect property so that they can enjoy the same lifestyle I do.

Each year since beginning my career, I have been recognized for sales excellence by The Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors receiving the top two awards given. I attribute that success to tremendous customer referrals, fantastic properties and a lot of hard work.

Whether your are ready to buy or sell, let my years of experience help you!
