Finding the right lender to work with is one of the most important parts of preparing to buy a home. If you pick the wrong one, you usually don't find out until halfway through escrow where problems tend to pop up, and by that time, in most cases, it's too late to do much about it and you risk losing the home of your dreams. The right lender offers you more than just the lowest advertised rate, they are a wealth of financial knowledge, they can explain things in ways that make it crystal clear what you are getting into, and especially in a market that favors sellers, a good lender can be the difference between you getting your offer accepted or passed by for another buyer. Find a lender that you trust and you will have someone that will help you not only through your home purchase, but help keep you financially on track for years to come. In this episode I talk to Dino Katsiametis, the Broker and Owner of California Coastal Loans, and we go over how to go about picking the right lender for you, what documents you want to have ready to make the process quick and easy, and how good lenders go the extra mile to make sure you are placing competitive offers even if you don't have the highest price.
