When you're buying a home, you have the option to have an inspection done on the property you're buying. The inspection is a thorough examination of a home's condition performed by a local professional. As the potential buyer, an inspection could reveal any potential, hidden issues with the home that could be costly to repair. Have other questions about the home-buying process? Message me!

There are a lot of terms thrown at you when you're considering buying a home - we know it can get confusing. A fixed-rate mortgage has a fixed interest rate that remains the same throughout the life of your loan, while an adjustable-rate mortgage has an interest rate that can change over time based on market conditions. There are pros and cons to each type of product, depending on your goals. Regardless of what your goals are, Academy Mortgage has a product to help make them become reality. Give me a call and let's chat about your options.

Rates are determined by a variety of factors, like the current state of the economy, inflation, and overall demand for mortgages. An individual's credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, and even the loan type and its terms can impact the rate. While most homebuyers are - understandably - looking for a low rate when considering buying a home but did you know that the loan with the lowest rate isn't always your best option? Getting into the wrong mortgage could potentially cost you thousands, wiping out any savings from a low-interest rate. I can help find the ideal product at a price that fits with your life.
