Personal Note:

As always I am enjoying my time battling with my very active and rambunctious son Evan. Evan always seems to be getting in to something but it keeps me on my toes (or at least that what everyone else says). I am also blessed with a great family environment that not only supports me with the raising of my son but with my career and for that I give thanks.Thank you for taking the time to get to know the Hardas Team and we hope to hear from you soon!

Family

…My daughter, Mackenzie, is my mini-me which now that I think about it, explains a lot of things! She is my sweetie. I’m also blessed with a great guy/fiancée in my life (Mike Novosel); we have big marriage plans this year. My parents and my brother are the wind in my sails. They are always there to give me a lift or sometimes a kick in the posterior end. I’m overjoyed to be a part of the Hardas team, and I’m looking forward to providing you with excellent real estate service you deserve.

Financing Your Home >The Language of Financing

When you meet with a lender to apply for financing, you may feel as if you are in a foreign country when the loan officer begins to talk about points, Regulation Z margins, PMI, and ARMs.

You are not alone if you feel left behind by loan terminology. Like many professionals, lenders use a highly specialized language. Don't hesitate to ask for a translation! This is especially true if you are investigating some of the more complicated loans with rates that can be adjusted periodically. As you consider the various loan options, find out what the interest rate will be and at what point the lender will commit to that rate. If the loan has an adjustable rate, be sure that you understand how often the rate will adjust, and by how much your payments may go up. Find out if the loan can be assumed by a future buyer. The lender isn't trying to confuse you. The mortgage process is complicated, so just keep asking questions until you understand.
