All of these are just minutes from CityCenter, The Cosmopolitan, Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Monte Carlo and New York New York. Are you ready to play?

FINANCING YOUR HOME PURCHASE

Buying a home is one of the largest financial decisions an individual makes in their lifetime. If your purchase involves mortgage financing, there can be a wide variety of questions. How do I prequalify for a mortage? What documents do I need to provide to the lender? How can I improve my credit score? What will my monthly payment be? Are interest rates going up or down? Which mortgage product best meets my current financial needs?

Navigating the ever-changing mortgage market can be tricky for even the most experienced homebuyer. Just one small, minor misstep can cost thousands over the term of the loan, add more fees due at closing, or even result in not getting a mortgage at all.

To help my clients get through the mortgage maze and find the best financing solution for their home purchase, I'm proud to work with Darrell Evans at Southern Fidelity Mortgage. "He has an indepth knowledge of financial markets, economic indicators, market trends and movements and will advise you on how they affect your mortgage decision. He believes the mortgage is a tool that when properly integrated into the overall context of your financial plan can dramatically increase your overall net worth."

Darrell's office is at 6585 High Street in Las Vegas Nevada. He can be reached at (702) 228-2889, or by email at darrellevansteam@gmail.com.
