Ever asked your Realtor, “How much will my mortgage be?” It’s a natural question, but here’s the surprising truth: Realtors, including myself, should never give mortgage advice.
Think of it this way: Realtors are like real estate superheroes. We swoop in to navigate the complex world of buying and selling homes, from finding the perfect property to negotiating the best deal. But, just like superheroes have limitations (even Superman needs to recharge!), Realtors aren’t licensed financial advisors. We lack the specialized knowledge and training required to give sound mortgage advice.
Here’s why it’s crucial to understand this distinction, and why I will never offer mortgage advice or tell you how much your mortgage will be:
-
Putting You First: Mortgage advice involves intricate calculations, loan options, and a deep understanding of your financial situation. Offering such advice without proper qualifications could put you at risk. My top priority is your best interest, and that means keeping you safe from potential financial pitfalls.
-
Focus on Expertise: Realtors excel in real estate. Our superpower lies in finding dream homes, expert negotiating, securing favorable contracts, and ensuring a smooth transaction. Let’s keep the focus on what we do best!
Finding Your Mortgage Hero: So, where do you turn for mortgage guidance? The answer lies with qualified mortgage lenders. These are the real estate financing experts! They’ll assess your finances, explain loan options, and guide you through the pre-approval process.
Here’s How I Can Help: As your Realtor, Renee Porsia (DRE: 02089383) with over 24 years of experience (and a certified Senior Real Estate Specialist, SRES!), I can’t offer mortgage advice.
