I spoke on the phone for hours with Barbara and went through the application process. Apart from some questionable comments regarding my answers that seemed backward, she pulled credit, got my $500, had an appraisal done, and THEN told me there was a 6-month seasoning period, and my application was denied. Being two highly qualified applicants, such a period was never disclosed. I should not have to be a home loan professional when I'm talking to one for 3+ hours. Chase has not refunded the $500, so I'm out the money, with a useless appraisal and a hit on my credit. Go to another lender, please.

This was the fifth mortgage loan experience in my lifetime, and it was by far the easiest and quickest. My loan officer Barbara Davidson is outstanding. She is up front, clear, concise, and always keeps you informed. This was my second loan with Barbara at the helm, and this time was even easier than the first: this loan was closed in 20 days. My client care specialist, Bradley Sisko, was super as well. If I had a question, Brad and his team would get right on it and report back to me as soon as possible. With Barbara and Brad handling my account, I never had to worry about a thing. I also was impressed with the Property Sciences appraiser Betsy Russell. It was the most thorough appraisal of my property ever conducted and Betsy was professional and efficient throughout. I found the same true with Stewart Title. I dealt mostly at Stewart with Bessie Robinson, and the closing and disbursement could not have run more smoothly. With this team led by Barbara, I was in excellent hands and will always be grateful for the direct, uncomplicated experience. Dean K., California

Well versed in everything having to do with mortgage financing. Able to explain all the intricacies of financing in a clear and concise manner. There was no question of my confidence in Barbara. Support was continuous from the initial meeting and remains so a year and a half later!

Frequently Asked Questions
When is it time to stop renting and buy a home?
When debating between renting vs. buying, you need to think about your lifestyle and finances. While renting can provide more flexibility, owning a home enables you to build equity in the property and may provide tax benefits.
Buying a home is a huge step, especially when you’re moving from renting to owning.
Buying a home is a huge step, especially when you’re moving from renting to owning.
How can I get information on mortgage loan options?
At Chase, you can choose from several types of mortgage loans to finance your home purchase. A Home Lending Advisor can help you understand the differences between the various loan options so you find one that best suits your financial situation.
Once you understand what you want out of a home, determining your housing budget is essential. After determining a loose housing budget, you'll need to decide how much you'll be comfortable paying each month. Your real estate agent will help you find the right home based on all of these factors. Looking for more information? Read our guide on “How to Find the Perfect Home!”

What documents will I need to apply for a mortgage?
Traditional loans usually require documents that verify your employment, income and assets, and may include:
• Your Social Security number
• Pay stubs for the last two months
• W-2 forms for the past two years
• Bank statements for the past two or three months
• One to two years of federal tax returns
• A signed contract of sale (if you've already chosen your new home)
• Information on current debt, including car loans, student loans and credit cards
• Your Social Security number
• Pay stubs for the last two months
• W-2 forms for the past two years
• Bank statements for the past two or three months
• One to two years of federal tax returns
• A signed contract of sale (if you've already chosen your new home)
• Information on current debt, including car loans, student loans and credit cards
What is better: a fixed or an adjustable interest rate?
If you plan to be in your home for more than seven years, you may want to consider a fixed-rate mortgage, which offers predictable payments and long-term protection against rising mortgage interest rates. If you plan to be in your home for seven years or less, an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) could be attractive. Keep in mind that with an ARM, your monthly payments have the potential to go up each time your interest rate adjusts.
