My calculators are designed to help you answer the most important questions surrounding your mortgage planning. For a demonstration of how each calculator works, click on "View Video Demo" after opening and I will talk you through how to use each tool to its fullest.
1. "How much can I qualify for?" - This tool takes your basic financial information and uses it to forecast the maximum mortgage amount you can qualify for.
2. "What would my mortgage look like?" - This calculator lets you play with different mortgage features and combinations.
3. "What are my closing costs?" - This one-of-a-kind calculator will give you a reasonable estimate of what your closing costs are likely to be.
