MORTGAGE PREP
After working with clients for years, we began to understand that for many the process for getting a mortgage can be intimidating. This task seems to be more daunting for our first-time home buyers. We have asked Skip O’Neal of Cunningham & Company to help us make this a little more pleasant experience, by helping us prepare our clients. Having the documents ready to provide a mortgage lender seems to help ease the process.
