Your Credit and Buying a Home Workshop: Homebuyers Workshop Series
October 2, 2025 by Leave a Comment
Our first workshop was a lot of fun, and we covered quite a bit – if you would like access to “Getting Started with Homeownership” please reach out to me.
Our next workshop is focused on your credit and how it impacts buying a home. This is the second workshop in our homebuying series that takes place over the lunch-hour so you can grab a computer and some lunch while you learn more about credit. Frankly, this topic is important even if you’re not buying a home. Our credit scores impact many other aspects of our lives from credit card rates to auto loans or insurance.

Common Mortgage Abbreviations
September 26, 2025 by Leave a Comment
There are so many abbreviations and acronyms in the mortgage process. As mortgage professionals, we’re so used to hearing these terms that some of us may not realize that not everyone may be aware what a DTI, AUS or MBS means.
Here’s a list of common mortgage abbreviations you may find useful. I’m sure I’ll be updating this as I come along other often used abbreviations. 🤓
By the way, if your mortgage professional talks in a language that’s difficult to understand, ask them to explain or maybe, find a different mortgage professional. I strongly believe that you should be able to make informed decisions about what is probably your largest debt on your greatest asset (your home) and your mortgage professional should be assisting in providing clarity.
