| Refinancing Your Current Mortgage with a New Mortgage |
FFC (Fulton Financial Consultants, Inc.) expanded its services to include being a mortgage broker in 1998 and since then I (Robert Fulton) have closed over 1000 mortgage refinances for clients. I have also closed over 250 home purchase transactions, one of my main ways of getting new clients. This mortgage/loan business was placed or spread out among at least 50 lenders. The flexibility to allow me to reposition myself in the market place has let me be extremely competitive, reducing my sales and marketing time by 90%. Knowingly, I have never been beaten on pricing. A Mortgage Broker, like myself has the strategic advantage of not being locked into a single lender like might be the case when you walk into your local bank. To a great extent as a mortgage broker I can build a loan file initially, assess the situation to see what I are working with before I my a final decision on what lender to use. A semi complete electronic loan file helps me be more accurate quoting, making less assumptions, this can save you time, hassle and even money by not paying for an appraisal with one bank and then needing to make a change to a different lender. So know I ask a lot of questions upfront and need copies of you current mortgage statement.
Generally, my proposal/guotes are by a byproduct or spin off of a semi complete loan file, all done in 24 hours.

While each transaction is unique, there is a core theme which is the same for each, so this section of my website will allow me to share and offer you a way to quickly educate yourself about the fundamentals of a mortage transaction. You may have mastered it before, but this is the type of subject area, that if we do not regularly use, we forget, making it always seem complicated. In addition the rules and formats keep changing with and by new regualations, and hard to keep up with. So in any event this section of my website will help you get your knowledge updated and be a good review for all. If it is your first refinance it will help you grasp the basics quicker, it is a lot different than when you purchase your home. The secret to the best end result success is to take the time upfront to learn the basics so you can then choose to participate in your own file configuration and make your own decisions on the structure of the transaction. You will be much happier 60 days from now if you do that. If you do not then that means that someone else will need to do that for you on your behalf, and your best interest may not be their main focus. One of the first things, is to learn the terminology, for which I have provided a glossary. You should cross reference the glossary for terms you are not sure about. So you can see my approach to refinancing your home or selecting a new mortgage to purchase a new home is that of a financial planning approach. That is to first understand your situation, resources, and to understand what you wish to accomplish then mentor and coach you through the process of making file/transaction configuration and structuring choices for a tailor fitted successful outcome.
My website's Refinance Landing page and the sub-pages are in the order of the transaction, so start by reading through them in order as displayed from the top down. Just hold your mouse cursor over this page button in the right column to view them then click on them, or just link directly by clicking from the list below.
