“Having experienced a divorce first hand, I know how incredibly frustrating and overwhelming the process can seem. So often people don’t think about speaking to a mortgage professional until after the divorce is done and that’s just so wrong!
Getting the mortgage professional involved early in the process can be the difference in moving on quickly vs. having the complications stretch out well beyond the finalization of the divorce.
What exactly do I mean? Here in Texas we have some weird home equity laws which can create some unique challenges when a divorce is involved and one party has to pay the other party their portion of the equity. Unfortunately all too often, the way the language appears on the divorce decree doesn’t properly clarify the situation, making it much more difficult to finalize getting a refinance accomplished.
My goal is to simplify this process, educate all parties, help a smooth refinance process, or even a purchase of a new home. Whatever can help settle down your home situation faster! That’s what I want.
Having a law degree myself makes me an invaluable asset as I will be able to easily communicate with your attorney to unsure all the professionals are working together to take the stress and pressure off you! I’d love the opportunity to talk to you about your options.”
