We had an incredible experience with the team that helped us purchase our first home. Alan Qiu was our realtor, and he did a thorough job guiding us through every step of the process. He was patient as we learned how everything worked, quick to respond whenever we had questions, and always proactive. Alan scheduled showings in a timely manner and helped us thoughtfully consider different options that aligned with our needs. Ultimately, he helped us find the perfect home in Billerica MA. Matt Tran, aka Tran the Mortgage Man, was our loan officer and was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was our very first phone call and immediately connected us with all the key stakeholders to make the process smooth and efficient. Matt clearly explained each step, regularly checked in on us, and made us feel confident throughout the journey. In less than two months from our initial call with Matt, we submitted our first offer, it was accepted, and we have officially closed. They truly have an A team. Matt referred us to Alan, and from there everything took off seamlessly. We are incredibly grateful for their support, guidance, and professionalism. We would strongly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy a home.

We had a great experience working with Steve, Meaghan, and Maria from Total Mortgage! During our first call with Steve he talked us through the whole process and what to expect which was so helpful and made us feel more confident as we started to look at homes! We were able to use the Greenlight program to get approved before we were under contract which helped us get our offer approved. We had some trouble getting documentation that was needed and the team helped assure us and offer suggestions for other ways we could get the information we needed which was so helpful. They answered all our questions and were great to work with! I would highly recommend this team!

Ed was wonderful to work. I had worked with him in the past and it was clear he’s very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I knew from the start that I could trust him so it was then easy to follow his lead. I felt the same with Jason - very knowledgeable, personable, helpful when I got stuck and again I trusted him. I felt that both Ed and Jason were there for me every step of the way. I also think the Total Mortgage program for sending alerts, showing which documents were due or completed - the process for uploading documents was really slick. Ed was also great at sending alerts and what was coming next. I always knew he was there for me if I had questions or problems. And like before the process was a success! I can’t think of anyway to improve, I am more than satisfied. I’ve already been sharing my experience. Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about New Hampshire mortgages

How long does a mortgage rate lock last?

The specific lock-in period may vary, but generally, you can secure a mortgage rate for 30 to 60 days. Once the rate lock expires, unless the lender agrees to an extension, the initially locked rate is no longer guaranteed. Changes in factors like credit score, loan amount, debt-to-income ratio, or appraisal value during the lock-in period could potentially void the initial rate lock.

What is considered a good mortgage interest rate?

When exploring mortgage rates, it's essential to evaluate not only the interest rate but also consider additional loan terms such as annual percentage rates (APRs), fees, and closing costs. A comprehensive comparison of loan specifics from multiple lenders is crucial in identifying the most advantageous deal tailored to your circumstances.

Should I lock my mortgage rate?

Mortgage rates are subject to frequent and unpredictable changes. Contemplating locking your mortgage rate may be prudent under the following conditions:

  • Rising rates: If there's a sustained upward trend in rates over several weeks or months, securing your rate ensures it won't exceed the initially qualified rate.
  • Federal Reserve meeting: Anticipating a potential rate increase during a Federal Reserve meeting, consider locking your rate before the meeting for financial security.
  • Desire for financial certainty: Locking your rate guarantees a stable monthly mortgage payment, shielding you from unexpected changes.
  • Set closing date: If your closing date is fixed with no expected delays, securing your rate is a strategic decision.

Is it possible for me to negotiate my mortgage rates?

Depending on your credit qualifications and willingness to obtain quotes from multiple lenders, negotiating a lower mortgage rate may be feasible. Another option is purchasing mortgage points, where paying a percentage of the interest upfront can reduce the interest rate and monthly payments. A mortgage point is equivalent to approximately 1% of the total loan amount, translating to around $2,500 on a $250,000 loan.

How are interest rates determined?

Lenders establish interest rates for their loan products, influenced by factors such as the Federal Reserve's actions, economic conditions, and consumer demand. Changes in short-term rates by the Federal Reserve can prompt lenders to adjust mortgage rates. Individual considerations, including credit score, down payment, income, as well as the varying levels of risk and operational expenses for lenders, can also impact mortgage rates.

How frequently do mortgage rates change?

Mortgage rates can vary daily, influenced by factors like inflation, the bond market, and the overall housing market.
