Words of Wisdom About Getting Home Loans

Applying for A Real Estate Loan is Hard Work!

Read what a professional lender and great guy has to say about the process of getting a home loan in today's lending environment.

"It may seem in today’s world that applying for a mortgage loan requires giving up your first born; however, there are some steps that a prospective homebuyer can take that can help in the application process.
Credit scores and credit history is relied upon very heavily by lenders when analyzing a credit application.  The higher the credit score is, the benefits for the borrower are greatly increased including better interest rates and lesser restrictive qualifying guidelines. 

One teps that a borrower can take prior to applying for a loan is to avoid applying for additional credit such as credit cards.  Each time additional credit is applied for, even if the credit is not accepted or wanted by the borrower, an inquiry will be reflected on the credit report.  A lender looks at these inquiries as potential additional debt and could require additional explanations by borrower.   In addition, do not apply for a mortgage loan with several lenders. 

Do your homework first, getting cost estimates from different lenders to compare rates and cost.  Choosing a lender based on the lowest rates is not always the best choice.  Rely on your realtor to give feedback on viable lender options.  Remember, choosing a lender that is reliable, ethical and knowledgeable goes a long way in making the application process smoother and less stressful.

The amount of debt that a borrower has is an important factor in qualifying.   Exceeding certain debt to income guidelines could prevent a borrower from being able to qualify for the home of their dreams.  Avoid taking on additional debt if possible.
Be ready to provide the lender, prior to application, the following items.  This will help expedite the preapproval process and not to mention, make life a little easier by having this information organized and ready to provide.
  • Paystubs for the most recent 30 day period
  • w-2’s for the most recent two year period
  • tax returns, personal and corporate (if applicable) for the most recent 2 year period
  • bank statements, investment account statements for the most recent 60 day period
  • retirement statements for the most recent period
  • Copy of drivers license
By providing this information upon application, a lender will be able to give a borrower valuable feedback immediately on whether they qualify and/or what amount of loan that could be qualified for."

What to look for in a Real Estate Agent!




Recently, during an interview with a homeowner, we were asked to state clearly some of the most important reasons that a homeowner should list their home with us.

Here was one of our comments...

1. Internet Presence

We can show that well over 80 of home buyer's begin their search for a home on the Intenet. For that reason you need more Internet exposure. For us, this includes being "Featured Home" on Realtor.com, having our own personal website at
www.thesingularsolution.com and utilizing our VisualTour.com website. Don't forget the importance of Social Media Marketing.

If your home is not being marketing aggressively over the Internet, your probability of sale is reduced. Just because an agent puts you on the MLS or their personal website, don't think that is enough to get the job done.

Darling Homes in Prosper, Texas


When Darling Homes determined to build 4060 Chimney Rock in a dazzling setting in The Whitley Place Neighborhood in Prosper, they made the decision to choose "Quality" over size. This spectacular property is the epitome of, "I want the best!" rather than "I want the most." As you approach the home, you cannot help but notice the graceful side patio with French doors to the study inside, as well as the brick front terrace enhancing the front façade.

You are greeted by an impressive "Grand Hall" Rotunda Foyer highlighted by a soaring two story ceiling, crown molding, gorgeous light fixtures, and hand scraped hardwood flooring.
The large arched entry to the dining room is inviting and features hand textured walls, and the flooring is hand scraped hardwood. The plantation shutters on the French Doors and Double Windows provide more than ample light to set the mood for entertaining friends or family in style.


The richly appointed study sits to the front of the home and is located to the left of the entry at the foyer. The study is large with practical and usable built-ins, and features judges paneling and hand scraped wood floors, as well as French doors to the Patio.

Delightfully open to the family living center, the kitchen and breakfast nook are up to the minute in every way and provide a great space for family fun and casual entertaining. The kitchen is a chef’s delight and features granite countertops and Viking and Asko stainless steel appliances, including a professional style Viking Cooktop with 6 Burners plus Griddle. The "inspiration piece" island features finishes that complement the rich wood stained cabinetry in this delightful kitchen. Rachel Ray never had it so good!

Added features include a butler’s pantry with glass front cabinets designed to serve the dining room, and a working butler’s pantry with built-in Viking Microwave. The breakfast room offers enough space for a crowd and also provides a large granite topped serving counter befitting a wonderful buffet for a celebration brunch or dinner. The many arches from various rooms into the kitchen and family area provide a European old world style that is both charming and warm.
The open family room has a beautiful stone and brick fireplace and a wall of windows viewing the outdoor living space. The hand scraped hardwood flooring continues throughout this area and the hand textured walls provide a soft ambiance for living and entertaining. There is ample room for furniture and video equipment to be positioned for fun and enjoyment.


The master suite, in the back of the home, is off an alcove allowing it to be private and not viewed from any of the living areas. It is also secluded and split from the other first floor bedroom at the front of the home. A charming sitting area with windows offers fantastic views of the backyard and there is a convenient door to the back patio. The master bath has oversized tile flooring, granite topped vanities, and a door to a private patio. The large walk-in closet has abundant built-in shelving and custom dressers. A neat addition is a door to the utility room through the master bedroom closet.


A wonderful guest suite is located at the front of the home, far from the master suite. It is large and cozy with a private bath and large walk-in closet. The guest bedroom has an attractive bay window that looks out to the terrace in the front of the home. This is a delightful setting and the home site is set high to allow for excellent visibility.


Whitley Place is a beautiful setting that features rolling hills and large native trees. You will love this great community. Visit www.ebbyhomesdfw.com for a Virtual Tour and lots of photos.
