Are you planning on purchasing a home in Auburn or purchasing a home in Opelika and are wondering how conventional mortgage loans work?  It used to be that when people would get a mortgage, they would go to a lender and borrow money. The lender that they got their loan at would hold onto their loan and collect payments from them each month according to the loan terms. In the United States, there are two large buyers on the secondary market for mortgages — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These two entities produce a set of guidelines where if mortgages fit the guidelines, then they agree to buy them. These guidelines outline the basic “rules” of getting a mortgage from them, and part of the outline is a limit on the amount that the loan can be for.Types of Conventional LoansIt is possible fo...

Wealthy Home Seller Secrets It’s true! Every day homes sell for WAY less than they should. It makes me cringe to see how many mistakes people make when selling. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great if you’re a buyer. However, if you’re a seller every mistake can cost thousands of dollars. For decades, wealthy homeowners have been selling homes the right way. Think about it for a minute… if you’re selling a 10 million dollar home, a 1% increase in the sales price equals an extra $100,000! Affluent sellers do what it takes to get top dollar for their homes. Normal sellers don’t seem to take selling as seriously (I have no clue why?) and normally don’t do what is necessary to get top dollar. If you use the right home selling strategies you can make at least 10-30k more when selling a $200,000 h...
