I had the pleasure of working with Mohammed, a Senior Home Lending Advisor, during my recent home buying journey. From the first meeting to the final closing, I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service and expertise that Mohammed provided.
He was incredibly knowledgeable about the mortgage process and was always available to answer any questions I had. He walked me through all of the options available to me and helped me understand the pros and cons of each one. I never felt pressured or rushed into making a decision, and I always felt like Mohammed had my best interests in mind.
His communication was top-notch and he was always prompt in responding to my calls and emails. He kept me informed of the progress of my application and made sure that I was aware of any important deadlines.
I cannot recommend Mohammed enough. He is a true professional and made my home buying experience a positive one. Thanks to his hard work, I am now a proud homeowner. If you're looking for a Senior Home Lending Advisor, look no further than Mohammed.

We had the pleasure of having Mohammed Karim as our lending advisor and had an excellent experience. We received frequent calls letting us know what is going on and what to expect. We also received calls from other departments keeping us informed of the loan process and dates for different activities. This has been one of the most pleasant experiences that we have had and most of it has to do with our loan officer who has the knowledge and experience to get the job done. We were able to contact him night or day with any questions. Thank you Mohammed and the Chase team for an exceptional job well done.

The loan Specialist (Mohammed Ali Karim) was very helpful from the beginning. He was very responsive and provided us ample of information to help us to decide best option that fit our need. He worked tirelessly to keep us updated with any outstanding inquiries to make sure we can close on time. Opportunity for improvement is for redundancy of submitting documentation in the website and the loan specialist. It will be great that both can synchronized to streamline the process.

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.
