3rd Party Client Reviews
Client reviews from around the internet.
Selling and buying a home can be very stressful. Attention to detail and timely updates are a must. This was my 6th home, and Andrew and his team made the experience smooth and on time! His team is easy to work with and very respectful. Professional, caring, and mostly very prompt to respond to questions and concerns. Highly recommend Andrew LaMacchia and his team at Pilgrim for all mortgage needs.
Andrew managed to thread the needle and get us a great rate locked in at a time when rates were generally skyrocketing. He did a fantastic job walking us through complex options where we could put less down to get a lower rate. Working with Andrew was one of the least stressful parts of our house buying process.
Numbers and FAQs On Mortgage
Creditworthiness is how a lender determines whether you will default on your debt obligations, or how worthy you are to receive new credit. Your creditworthiness is what creditors look at before they approve any new credit to you.
Creditworthiness is determined by several factors including your repayment history and credit score. Some lending institutions also consider available assets and the number of liabilities you have when they determine the probability of default.
An Appraisal is an estimate of a property's fair market value. It's a document generally required (depending on the loan program) by a lender before loan approval to ensure that the mortgage loan amount is not more than the value of the property.
The Appraisal is performed by an "Appraiser" typically a state-licensed professional trained to render expert opinions concerning property values, location, amenities, and physical conditions.
The property is officially transferred from the seller to you at "Closing" or "Funding".
At closing, the ownership of the property is officially transferred from the seller to you. This may involve you, the seller, real estate agents, your attorney, the lender’s attorney, title or escrow firm representatives, clerks, secretaries, and other staff. You can have an attorney represent you if you can't attend the closing meeting, i.e., if you’re out-of-state.
Closing can take anywhere from 1-hour to several depending on contingency clauses in the purchase offer, or any escrow accounts needing to be set up.
