Real-life tips to help you face your mortgage

 

Your wallet is not the only thing quivering when you go through the mortgage process. Your heart, brain and tightly wound nerves may need a little time to shake it off. We recommend putting on a good song and letting that guide you through the rhythm! Getting a mortgage is probably the most “adult” thing you could do. So, give yourself credit for that. You’ve made it, and you’re alive little possum (even if it’s barely).

We’ve come up with a few points to help you handle the emotional stress of this commitment. As a mortgage business, we have had the privilege of guiding many people through this process, and we’ve seen them soar and come out of it happy and fulfilled. These tips are sure to transform your mortgage journey from rocky to smooth.

1. Deal with Tension

When you feel yourself getting anxious or worked up, take a moment to get some air. This is a big one! It sounds simple, but it will make a huge difference. Whether that means stepping outside, drinking a glass of water, or just having a moment to yourself to breathe (in and out, in and out) – this may just save you from blowing a gasket.

2. Ask, Ask, Ask

Whenever you feel confused, lost or overwhelmed in the process, chat with us – our goal is to be transparent at all times. We understand the difficulties of deciding to go with what could be the biggest financial commitment of your life. As your mortgage broker, we also know that we are great at what we do, and will be able to get you mortgage-free as fast as possible.

3. Work Within Your Budget

Failing to plan, is planning to fail. The earlier you start getting your finances in order, the easier it will be to make adjustments and improve your standing.

Budget like a boss! At the end of October we held a webinar covering the basics of budgeting. This was crafted for the person who is advanced, a beginner or just in-between. The aim was to create value for all levels! We loved motivating our Mortgage Allies community on such a personal level.
