If you've already met with a mortgage lender and have established the framework for financing your new home, land or new construction, we're almost ready to start previewing properties. If not, please feel free to contact me for suggestions. I have a list of preferred local lenders for you to select from. This is such an important factor in the process, and I endorse those lending agents whom I have worked with in the past and who have proven their abilities. I encourage you to interview them and select the one you feel the most comfortable with.
