With over 18 years' residential mortgage lending experience, I am committed to engineering financial solutions for my customers to help them achieve their financial objectives.

Whether you want to refinance for a lower mortgage rate, get a new home mortgage, home equity loan or second mortgage, my purpose is to satisfy your needs. By putting you first, I assure you a pleasurable transaction.

Mortgage Rates Higher Following Employment Report - 1 day ago
Posted To: Mortgage Rate WatchThe monthly Employment Situation Report was released at 8:30am this morning, with much better-than-expected results. Stocks rallied sharply and most every interest rate in fixed-income markets moved higher. The economic optimism created by this sort of data tends to increase demand for riskier investments like stocks and lower demand for things like fixed-income notes and bonds.

As a result, Mortgages Rates moved higher at their fastest pace in some time, traversing most of this week's territory, but leaving Best-Execution rates mostly at 3.875%.

We'd said yesterday...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
