OWN YOUR HOME

The Home Buying Journey

Home Buying Journey

Buying a home is very much like going on a journey or a trip. You know where you want to end up, but maybe you’re not too sure how you’re going to get there. You’ve probably heard of some terms like pre-approval or loan estimate but not sure what happens first and what comes after that. Also, since this is something new, you are probably a little nervous or anxious about the process. If you want to know what it is going to be like for you, click on the link below and I’ll explain the homebuying journey you are about to begin.

Mortgage 101

It takes a lot of people to originate a mortgage. There are loan originators, processors, lock desk specialists, underwriters and others who all contribute to originating a mortgage. In addition, there are a lot of “ingredients” in mortgages. Lock terms, mortgage insurance, credit checks, down payments, loan-to-value ratios, and other components determine the final product that you the borrower will get. If you have questions or want to learn more, please click on the link below and I’ll explain the terminology and factors that contribute to the “dish” that will be your mortgage.

First Time Home Buyer Class

First Time Home Buyer Webinars

On a regular basis, I make one-hour presentations via Zoom, where I discuss the home buying process and the financial aspects of purchasing your first home.  I’ll discuss working with a real estate agent, how to make an offer on a home, how to get the best mortgage rate, why mortgage insurance does not benefit you the homeowner, the different types of mortgages, and other topics that I think everyone should understand before purchasing their first home. A Q&A session will follow so that everyone gets to talk and ask any questions they may have. This event is ideal for those that are currently renting but thinking about buying a home sometime in the near future. I look forward to meeting you.

Charities

I live in Austin, Texas and love my community in the same way that I’m guessing you do yours. Having grown up and gone to college in Austin, I have a strong connection to the city I call home. I’ve had a wonderful life and am thankful for all that Austin has done for me. I started this company with the intention of giving back. I donate 5% of my annual profits to local charities like these.

Tobin Adams - Mortgage Broker

My name is Tobin Adams.  I am a Realtor with eXp Realty and I am also a mortgage broker.  I have been in the mortgage industry since 2016.  I work with multiple lenders and shop for the best rates for my clients.

In 2020, I was working for another mortgage company.  Through my experiences on the job, I saw just how important and crucial the mortgage industry is to America.  I decided to start my own mortgage company because I wanted to give back.  Every year, I donate at least 5% of my company’s profits to charities and non-profits that help the American community.

If you are looking to buy a home sometime in the near future, please contact me.  I will talk you through all the financial aspects of buying your home so you will feel comfortable with your decision.  When you find your dream home, I will shop around to get you the best interest rate.  I consistently get my borrowers better mortgage interest rates than my competitors.

I had a great experience with Tobin when dealing with my mortgage. He has wonderful customer service and took the time to answer all of my questions and explain every step in the process. As a first time home buyer, that was immensely helpful.
