If you've been
using the Internet to search for a mortgage loan, you've
probably noticed that everybody is promising the lowest
rate. Many sites have tables full of rate information
followed by pages of fine print.
At New Alliance
Mortgage, you'll find that we're different. Instead of
promises about mortgage rates, we'll talk to you and
gather some information first, so we can quote you a
rate that you'll qualify for. It's important to
understand that our current mortgage rates are the
result of an equation that takes into consideration your
personal credit history, property, income, loan type,
term and loan amount.
Calling a lender
and asking, "What's your rate?" is similar to calling an
insurance agent and requesting a price for auto
insurance. There are so many other factors involved that
the agent needs to ask the right questions before
assessing the risk in insuring your vehicle. Your age,
driving record, average miles you drive each day -- all
play a part in determining how much your insurance will
cost.
Mortgages rates
work the same way. Any mortgage representative can talk
about a low mortgage rate, but not everybody will
qualify for a loan at the lowest rate because there are
many stipulations that go along with it. The 3 C's are
an important step in qualifying for a loan: Credit,
Capacity & Collateral. Visit our
What Lenders Look For
section for more information.
In the end, it's
about building trust and our commitment to customer
service. That's why we won't simply quote you the lowest
rate, but we'll talk to you about your needs and your
financial situation to find you the best rate you'll
qualify for. To see how competitive our current mortgage
rates are, 281-272-5900 or
begin now.
A better way to
find a rate that you will qualify for is to assess your
credit rating. Below are some general criteria that are
used within the industry to determine a borrower's
credit grade. Even if you've fallen behind on your
bills, we can help you get back on track and
re-establish your credit.
