If you are considering applying for a mortgage to purchase a new home or to refinance your present home, don't delay. Despite fluctuation in interest rates, lenders are still processing many new loan applications.

You should gather all the necessary paperwork before you apply, and submit your loan application as soon as possible. At a minimum, the information required by a lender will consist of proof of your earnings and a clear picture of your total monthly income and expenses. If you are self-employed, or have long-term obligations such as alimony or child support, the preparation time and the amount of paperwork increases.

Despite the need to move rather quickly for a mortgage in today's market, you should "make haste carefully." Shop carefully for your loan by comparing all costs and terms. With the number of lenders vying for your business, new and better deals are always appearing.

As a native to Kansas and a former local high school English teacher in the Shawnee Mission school district, I am able to give buyers extra assistance and information on schools and the city. My license plate "REALTOR" lets everyone know my profession. My customers find that I am easy to work with and an excellent negotiator. My slogan "choose this LEFT handed realtor to help you make the RIGHT move" expresses my desire to help my buyers find the right home or my sellers to find the right buyer for the best price and terms. I have had my brokers/realtors licenses for over 22 and have consistently been one of the top 10 realtors in the city on both the Kansas and Missouri sides. I hold various designations and degrees: CRS (certified real estate consultant), ABR (accredited buyers agent), SRES(senior citizen representative), CSP (certified new sales consultant-to build) and e-PRO. My education consists of BA and Masters from University of California at Berkeley. I have 3 daughters, 1 dog and 1 cat. My recently licensed Schipperke, Skipper, was rescued by me from a local animal shelter so he helps me find some DOG GONE good homes for my clients.
