Welcome back, Dreammakers! Today, on “Today in Mortgages,” we’re talking about what buyers are doing wrong when home shopping. The old adage: consumers are always right is still correct, but the problem is, they don’t aways know the answers. Our job as loan officers is to manage the borrowers fears and questions, while kindly advising them.

We look at an article today that talks about “10 Things Most Homebuyers Get Wrong About Getting a Mortgage Today,” from Realtor.com. Some of these mistakes include:

1) Buyers focusing too much on high rates

2) Assuming you need 20% down payment

3) Assuming you can get a loan instantly

4) Thinking pre-qualified means you are approved for the loan

5) Not considering home buyer programs

As professionals, we need to get ahead of these misconceptions, communicating the correct information on the front end to help your borrowers.

We will look at the other 5 mistakes on Thursday!
