What's going on in the world of mortgage lending and where are we headed for 2024? Louisa and Josh gave the DOBI family a rundown at our most recent brokerage meeting:

📉Mortgage rates are trending down - today we are WELL below 7.0%

📈New Conventional Conforming Loan Limit for 2024 will be $766,550, meaning that with a purchase price of $954K + 20% down, the client will stay in a conventional conforming Loan and NOT a jumbo.

📈New FHA Loan Limit for 2024 will be $498,257, meaning that with a purchase price price of $516K and 3.5% down the loan will stay in the FHA territory.

Mortgage closing costs are something every individual will experience when buying a house, so making sure you have a reliable real estate agent and loan officer is crucial!

Our Chief Executive Officer AJ Sgroi discusses the main elements you will experience throughout the process and and what each fee means.

09/25/2023

Without a high credit score you won’t qualify for the best mortgage rates available, which could result in paying more money over the term of your mortgage.

Our Chief Executive Officer Angelo Sgroi elaborates on the main issues people face with a low credit score!

09/21/2023

Mortgage fraud scams are a very serious problem and can be very harmful to your transaction. Our Chief Executive Officer AJ Sgroi discusses the main issues to look out for to avoid any hold ups in your home buying process!

1) Always make sure the title company is sending you the email and verifying the wire instructions before sending the money.
2) When you send the money there’s absolutely no recovering it, so always make sure everything is correct before doing so.
3) Also, when hiring a loan officer make sure the person is reputable and has a track record to back it up. Nothing is worse than hiring someone you’re unsure of and them not delivering on their promises.

We’re extremely excited to showcase some of our brand new merchandise including t-shirts, hats, cups, and pens!
