ONE ON ONE With Ginger Douglas By Mike Lightbourn
Mike: Ginger, what advice would you give to someone who wants to get approved for a mortgage? Mike Lightbourn is president of Coldwell Banker Lightbourn Realty Ginger: We generally require persons to be fully employed for at least two years. They must have the required down-payment in savings or property equity. Our required down payment is usually between five to 10 percent. It is a benefit to have good credit history and for your assets to outweigh your debts (positive net worth). Additionally, I would advise anyone not to take out large unsecured loans with high interest rates. Borrow responsibly and invest in property. If you are self-employed always deposit your earnings to your business account and also pay yourself a salary to your personal bank account. Mike: What steps should a person take in buying a home? Ginger: Before looking for a home definitely get prequalified by a mortgage specialist. RBC has an online, industry-leading mortgage prequalification tool where clients can enter a few details such as planned purchase price, down-payment, income and debt to get a sense of how much they can afford in as little as 60 seconds. Also, after using the tool an RBC mortgage specialist will call you within 24 hours. You don’t want to start looking for a home before knowing what price range you are pre-approved for. Mike: What documents would you require for prequalification? Ginger: Two valid forms of identification, a current letter confirming your employment, your most recent pay slips and financial statements. If you are self-employed we require these statements for the last three years. You need to show proof of down payment for property, confirmation of any external debts via print out of the loan
balance or a credit reference letter. Mike: What mortgage promotions does RBC Ginger Douglas is a mortgage specialist have at the moment? with Royal Bank of Canada Ginger: RBC is committed to making it easier and more convenient to do business. We are excited to announce enhancements to our residential mortgage offerings that can help clients open the doors to their new home sooner. RBC is now offering residential mortgages, with a 10% down payment and a term of up to 25 years for persons who are working in the Bahamas on a work permit. We are also accepting a five percent down payment for residential mortgages in certain geographical locations. Our interest rates are the most competitive rates on the market. Mike: How can borrowers save on the cost of a mortgage? Ginger: Borrowers can save by making a larger down payment or making one extra payment a year. (As a seasoned mortgage specialist, Ginger provides customised solutions and advice to home buyers.. She’s fully mobile with a flexible client schedule. ginger. douglas@rbc.com ) QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? Contact me at: info@cbbahamas.com
