With today's higher interest rates, assumable mortgages can provide significant savings for homebuyers but navigating the assumption process isn't always straightforward.
Join Mark Whittstadt and Ted Kirzenski as they provide a rare behind-the-scenes look at how mortgage loan assumptions are reviewed and approved by servicers. Having helped process thousands of loan assumptions for major lenders, Mark and Ted will explain how Realtors can identify assumable loans, guide clients through the assumption process, and better understand the mortgage servicer's role.
Whether you're a Realtor looking to create new opportunities for your buyers or a loan servicing professional seeking a deeper understanding of the assumption process, this webinar offers practical insights from two experienced industry experts.
