    I worked with Paul for Mortgage, and let me tell you that is the most professional banker I have came across. He will hold your hand through the process and never sound pushy. Don’t have enough words to describe his service quality and professionalism.

    Lightning quick work! It only took a few weeks to work through everything end to end -- figuring out how much I can afford, reviewing the documents and getting the underwriting.

    Great customer service and experience working with Paul. He was very helpful in explaining every detail of the mortgage loan we took from Chase and he promised to close on time and delivered it to the tee. What I liked the most is in constant follow-ups to see how our search was going on and how close we are to placing an offer. It was a great experience working with him and I highly recommend reaching out to him for your mortgage loan needs.

    Paul provided fantastic customer service. He and his team are extremely responsive. They helped us to lock in our financing at a great rate and close our home purchase faster than we thought possible for a traditional lender. I strongly recommend Paul as a lending partner.

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.
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
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.
