In Simple Terms: A buyer finds a home, negotiates the terms of a purchase contract with the seller, gets an appraisal to verify value, orders a home inspection to check under the hood, and then signs final documents at the closing table where funds are distributed.
Since local market conditions, location, rates, and property availability can complicate the process, having a trusted mortgage and real estate professional in your corner will help you avoid unnecessary anxiety.Buying a new home is literally a team sport since there are so many tasks, important timelines, documents, and responsibilities that all need special care and attention.

As rates drop or home values increase, many homeowners consider if refinancing their mortgage is worth it. If you own for an extended period, there is a high probability that you'll experience a few windows where rates drop low enough to justify a Rate and Term Refinance. A Rate and Term Refinance simply means that you are making a change to the rate or term of the loan, such as dropping from a 30 year to a 15 year note.

Chad Okun was such a pleasure to work with. He made himself available any time of day or night to assist with our refinance. Chad took the time to understand our situation and needs and was invested throughout the entire process. As a first time "home-buyer" doing this refinance during a difficult time due to a family member passing away, we couldn't have asked for a better friend at our side. I say friend, because he truly cared and stayed communicative throughout the entire process. We never felt left in the dark. Thank you Chad! You are amazing, I'd recommend you to anyone!

Very informative with all of our questions. Made it easy to know we made the right decision with our lender. This was our first time buying a home. Chad helped us understand the process, the fees and helped keep us going with each step along the way. He is always a friendly voice on the other end of the phone and will make the home buying process easy for anyone he works with.

Man, what can I say about Chad in this small box? Chad helped me and my family purchase a condo in AZ while I was in CA/traveling around for a new job. From explaining the process, unreal communication, to just being a pleasant person. If you want to go to a one stop shop and never having to worry about the unnerving part of the process, call Chad

€œThank you Chad for helping me navigate my recent home refi loan! I appreciated how you listened to my goals, asked me questions to really understand me and my situation and then worked with me to check all the options and select the best fit together. Not only did my monthly payment go down, but the amount going towards the principal of the loan also went up, significantly! This was such a positive experience working with you when normally it’s something to dread – but you are the BEST! Again, thank you so much! You really know the loan business and explained it so that it was easy for me

Just want to give a huge shout out to Ryan Sutton, Mary Wilson and Manny Gonzales for making this refinance process happen so quickly. It is so awesome to deal with a corporation that you can tell truly care about their clients and not just treat it as a business contract only. If you are wanting a lender that goes "Above and Beyond and the extra mile". I recommend that you look no further and let Lender One take care of all you needs.
