"Jay will be the first one we call"
"Jay is a hard-working, honest realtor. He found a home that met our needs & specifications, without wasting out time showing everything available in our price range. We ended up purchasing a home under construction, and Jay stood with us through every step of the process, looking out for our best interests. If we ever decide to make a move, Jay will be the first one we call."
James & Mitzi, Katy ISD

Financing Your Home >Your Mortgage
Many homeowners overlook the mortgage payment as a tool for financial management. They get the mortgage, move in, make the payments, and pay off the loan eventually. Smart homeowners know that by properly adding to their monthly payments, even by a small amount, they can substantially reduce the term of their loan, not to mention the total interest they will pay. In fact, prepaying one full year of a standard mortgage can save thousands of dollars in interest. The key is to do it properly and to find the right lender for whom prepayment is not a problem.
More progressive lenders allow the option to add money to the monthly payment which goes directly to the principal. How much should you add? It's largely a personal decision, and it depends on your cash flow. But be mindful of the fact that the mortgage interest rate is probably the lowest interest loan you will find, so don't short yourself with prepayment only to run up credit card debt!
