Warren Goldberg, President of Mortgage Wealth Advisors, was interviewed by Long Island Newsday for an article about helpful tips for buying or selling a home.
Excerpt from the Article:
“From a mortgage standpoint, it is critical that any and every buyer get prequalified or preapproved, before they start looking for a house,” said Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist Warren Goldberg. “Not after they’ve found the house, but before they even start looking.”
Goldberg, president and founder of Mortgage Wealth Advisors Inc., warns against estimating a realistic price range. Waiting too long to apply for a mortgage can delay and complicate the homebuying process, he said.
“They may find that they’re not qualified for what they think they could afford; they may be qualified for more than what they think they can afford,” he said.
Additionally, Goldberg often encounters prospective buyers with “complicated” finances. When a client is working with various bank accounts and frequent money transfers from one account to another, tracing money moves becomes complex and requires more paperwork.
“Many times I’ll tell people, ‘Have one bank account where all your money is going that you plan to use for the house,’ ” Goldberg said. “If there’s enough in that account, and it’s relatively stable, that’s the only asset I have to show.”
A buyer or seller can also expedite the process by proactively answering questions a team of real estate professionals will ask them.
