Home mortgage interest rates are still low. Homebuyers and those looking to refinance are shopping for the best deal possible.

So, during today’s “From The Heart and Sold Real Estate Show” April Rooks and Cindy Vandiver will be discussing the pros and cons of using an online lender vs a local lender.

Nearly half of the homebuyers out there do not shop around for the right lender or rates. And, it’s costing them.

The internet has brought about a whole new world of mortgage financing options.

And, as it is with everything else in the world — advertising is everything.

So, how do you know that you’re making the right choices for yourself and your finances? And, that you’re actually going to get what was advertised?

“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!”

Onlne advertisers talk about:

1. Better rates
2. Convenience
3. Overnight Approval

And because consumers live in a space of instant gratification, we really do want and expect to have everything right now, at our fingertips!

Online can be a HUGE time saver. And it does come with its drawbacks.

  • You can call or text a local lender. If you’re working with an online lender, you need to expect that there will be delays in response time and truly personalized service.
  • You can walk into your local lender’s office. You can’t do that with an online lender.
  • If you need help, your local lender is a huge asset to you. You just won’t be able to get personal guidance and access to community relationships from an online lender.
  • Many times rates are better with a local lender than with an online lender. They usually are more firm and locked in, too!

From the Heart Moment

Conditioned Air Systems recently installed an HVAC unit in the home of a local family that had no heat for the winter. They were struggling and simply couldn’t afford to get the work done. The relief and gratitude the family experienced were so touching.

We’ve all struggled at some point in our lives. And to have someone do something so special is miraculous. And we really want to acknowledge and thank our community for doing so much for so many.

Studio Owner and Operator

Beau-HendersonBeau Henderson is a retirement planning specialist, a USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author, and the founder and visionary of RichLife Advisors.

He has helped more than 3,000 clients to not only improve their relationship with money, but to live their unique definition of a fulfilled, meaningful retirement with purpose.

Beau was studying at the University of Georgia to be a psychologist when his father passed away at 49 years of age from lung cancer. He felt helpless as he watched his mother, who had been married to his father since she was 18, struggle with financial decisions. He left college to return home and help her piece her life together.

Through his family’s heartbreaking experience, he found a silver lining when he realized that he could make a profound difference in someone’s life by helping them navigate important financial decisions.

His interest in psychology, coupled with his fascination with financial matters, led him to a career he loves. Now, more than 20 years later, he has never stopped learning and growing through his work and helping others create a Retirement by Design.

Beau is an avid local business advocate, podcast enthusiast, and studio owner of North Georgia Business Radio X. He was recognized as Junior Achievement’s Business Partnership of the Year in 2016 for his efforts and commitment to increasing financial literacy in the community.

In his free time, Beau loves to spend time with his family, including toddler, Gwendolyn, and time in the mountains of Murphy, NC.
