Smart Tips to Save Thousands on Metro Mortgages

Did you know that homebuyers in the nation’s largest cities are spending an average of $3,300 extra every year on mortgage interest and fees? In some coastal markets, that figure soars to $8,100 annually. Over 80% of borrowers are paying more than they need to, often because they aren’t comparing enough lenders. After more than two decades guiding buyers and sellers—especially through the ins and outs of foreclosures and REO properties—I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to shop around for mortgage options. Finding the right fit can mean thousands saved each year, and for many families, every dollar makes a difference. There’s real power in being an informed buyer.
