7 Mortgage Loan Basics What Is a Mortgage Loan? A mortgage is a loan secured by a home. The loan allows you to purchase a home with a promise to pay back the funds over a certain period of time. Backing your promise to repay is the house. If you stop paying the loan, the Lender can take your home (Foreclosure). Typically, the repayment of a mortgage occurs through MONTHLY PAYMENTS for a period less than 30 years. 7

19 Finding The Right Realtor Choosing the right agent that you trust can save you time, effort and aggravation in finding the right home at a price you can afford. Choose an agent who is a certified Realtor In addition to being licensed, Realtors belong to the National Association of Realtors and must abide by as strict Code of Ethics. They also have access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS) to see all of the listings in your area. Talk to friends and family. Many have most likely been through the process and can provide recommendations as a starting point. Choose an agent who listens Real estate transactions can be complicated and confusing. Find an agent whose personality you like. Never be afraid to interview prospective agents and meet them in person to see if it is a good fit. Don t hesitate to ask for references. Consider the agent s experience and capabilities Many people have real estate licenses but only a handful make it a full-time profession. An ideal Realtor has several years of experience. Find out how many homes the agent has helped buyers purchase in the areas you are interested in. 19
