What's in a name??

Did you ever wonder about the word "Mortgage"? What is a mortgage? A mortgage is a pledge of property as security for the repayment of a loan.

The entomology of the word tells us that it means, literally, death pledge: “mort” is French for "dead" (and is pronounced “mor”), and “gage” is an old word that means "pledge." The explanation for this could be that if a person defaults on a mortgage, he ends up losing the property and it becomes, in effect, dead to him.

Personalized Service

April 22nd, 2007 8:59 PM

Choosing the right lender is the key element to managing your mortgage. As a mortgage consultant, my goal is not just to provide you with a loan, but to help select the loan most beneficial to you and your long-term goals, and then, help you manage that debt over time. There are not many lenders out there who provide this type of personalized service.

My job is just beginning when your first loan closes. I will continuously monitor rates on your behalf, and stay in touch with you to make sure we remain on target with your financial goals.
