    Chelsea was incredibly patient with us and flexed towards both of our styles! She made sure we were getting sound advice and felt comfortable and informed with every step of the process. She was very accommodating to all of our questions (even if they were kind of the same questions asked multiple different ways). We felt like we were in really good hands which is really important in the lender market - she never once made us feel pressured and always made sure we had all the facts. We could trust her to chase things or people down in the underwriting process when we didn’t understand what was being asked of us. She was a trusted advisor and she is very passionate about what she does. Many times during the process we commented between ourselves that we were glad we went with Chelsea amongst all the other lenders we had reached out to. We strongly recommend Chelsea, and especially if you are first time home buyers!

    Chelsea McCollum was such an amazing lady to work with. You have a superstar with Chelsea. She is the reason I continued the process to complete my home loan process with Chase Bank. Here communication was exceptional all the way up to closing and after. She even beat interest rates I was given by other lenders.

    I can’t say enough great things about my experience working with Chelsea. She explained the mortgage process thoroughly and at each step of the way. When the process of selling and buying became stressful, she was encouraging and supportive. She has fabulous people skills. She always got back to me the same day even if it was late in the evening. I look forward to working with her again and encourage everyone I know to contact her if they are looking for a mortgage

    Chelsea was by all standards one of the best Chase loan officer I have worked with. Very attentive to her client needs and understood the time is of the essence clause inserted in the real estate contract. First loan officer to call me anD ensure her clients was in good hands, and to follow up after the closing. That is the kind of service I provide and although I work for myself I have been in the business over 20 years by always ensuring that my clients confident, taken care and feel that they were treated like family. That is how I will describe her service, and on top of that very competent and pleasant.

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.
