No one wants to think about mortgages until they need one. Then they want to learn everything they can. That's when they find me. I give consumers information to help them make constructive decisions, focusing on mortgages, real estate, home equity products, the Fed and how macroeconomic forces affect personal finance. I love to write clearly about complex subjects. My nonwork passions are motorcycles and the outdoors. My ideal getaway involves zooming through the mountains on my Ducati Multistrada by day and camping under the trees by night.
The fun part about home shopping is touring houses, picking out decor and imagining friends and family seeing your new space. On the flip side, comparing mortgage rates can seem monotonous and stressful, but in reality it’s an easy task that can lead to huge long-term savings.
Comparing mortgage rates from five lenders can save home buyers money with a better interest rate, enough to save thousands of dollars over a 30-year mortgage.
