A quick update today!
I reached out to a real estate agent I worked with in 2022 (I was just trying to see what I could afford but the timing wasn’t right) to ask her opinion on the pre-approval offer I got from Jet Mortgage. Turns out, she’s no longer working as an agent (whomp whomp).
BUT she put me in touch with another agent that she thinks will be perfect for me. This new agent is going to put me in touch with ANOTHER mortgage lender (this makes five total) who can hopefully give me some more clarity regarding what I can afford and if it would be beneficial to rope my parents into cosigning.
Meanwhile, Jet Mortgage has been HOUNDING me with phone calls and emails, trying to get me to commit to their real estate agents and lenders. How do you break it to a mortgage lender that you’re not necessarily looking to be exclusive right now?! If you can’t tell, the only area I have less experience in than home buying is dating:)
So, now we wait to hear back from the fifth lender. In the meantime, my new agent sent me a link to some homes to look at. Thank goodness I have two days off to play around there!
Always and forever,
The Frugal Girlie
