Amie Dail, Home Loan Consultant Home financing for residential purchases and refinances in VA

Buying a home is one of if not the largest financial transaction of one's lifetime-whether it's your first or whether you're up-sizing, down-sizing, purchasing a vacation home, or even a rental property. Therefore, choosing a lender you can trust - one who is experienced, responsive, empathetic, approachable, and just easy to talk with is important. In my 25 year lending career, I've been afforded many opportunities to assist individuals, families, and small and commercial business owners with various financial needs and I'm very passionate when it comes to serving as a lender who is someone you can count on to be a trusted advisor who consistently embodies all of these qualities. My entire career has been in the financial services industry, and I’m able to apply my experience from my banking background and approach each individual’s unique situation with focus, attention, and appreciation for their overall financial goals. Arbor Home Loans/ OneTrust allows me to provide my clients with competitive rates and a variety of products that aren’t available from traditional financial institutions, along with the latest technology that ensures an efficient process. Having lived in the Hampton Roads community all my life, I’m very familiar with the surrounding market, which allows me to be a resource to those who may not be as familiar with the area and all it has to offer. I have a passionate commitment to delivering the highest level of service to each individual and family I have the opportunity to assist, and I pride myself in making the home financing experience smooth, educational, and a truly positive one!

Prequalification and preapproval are often used interchangeably, but they can represent different levels of financial review.

Prequalification may provide an early estimate of potential financing based on information provided by the buyer. Preapproval generally involves a more detailed review of financial information and supporting documentation by the lender.

Both can be helpful, but understanding the difference can help buyers know where they stand and what steps may still be needed before making an offer.

Because lender processes can vary, speaking with a loan officer early can help buyers understand what type of review has been completed and how prepared they may be to move forward when the right home comes along.

People often get confused about earnest money, especially how it's different from a down payment or closing costs. So, what exactly is it?

Earnest money is generally a deposit that demonstrates a buyer's intent to move forward with a home purchase after an offer is accepted.

The amount, timing, handling of the funds, and circumstances under which the deposit may be refundable are typically outlined in the purchase contract and can vary by transaction and local practices. If the purchase moves forward, earnest money is generally applied toward the buyer's funds due at closing according to the terms of the transaction.

There are several different expenses buyers may encounter between making an offer and getting the keys. Understanding them early can help make the process feel much less confusing when it's time to buy.

For a Reverse Mortgage, independent counseling is an important part of the process. The counseling session is designed to help homeowners understand how a reverse mortgage works, including loan costs, repayment, homeowner responsibilities, available alternatives, and how the loan may affect long term financial plans.

The goal is education. It gives homeowners an opportunity to ask questions and better understand the program before moving forward with an application.
Reverse mortgages can work differently depending on individual goals and circumstances, which is why education is such an important part of the process.

Our team also takes the time to answer questions, review available options, and help each client determine whether a reverse mortgage may align with their retirement goals.

Once a home is under contract, an appraisal becomes an important part of the mortgage process.

The appraisal provides an independent opinion of the property's value and helps the lender evaluate the home being used as collateral for the loan. The appraiser considers factors such as the property's characteristics, condition, location, and comparable recent sales.

An appraisal is different from a home inspection. The appraisal focuses primarily on value and applicable property requirements, while an inspection is generally intended to help the buyer understand the home's condition.

Knowing where the appraisal fits into the process can help buyers better understand what is happening between an accepted offer and closing day.
