When divorce is on the horizon, there are lots of emotions involved. Fortunately, divorce lending professionals can help ease some of the stress by guiding borrowers through the process and making sure that everything is done in a timely manner. A certified divorce lending professional will guide you to become familiar with every step of qualifying for a mortgage based on your divorcing situation.
A certified divorce lending professional has the background and insight to help borrowers understand the unique challenges a divorce can present for mortgage financing. Real estate is involved in over 70% of divorces in the United States, so an experienced Certified Divorce Lending Professional should be involved in the process. The Certified Divorce Lending Professional can help guide the divorcing couple through the best use of a mortgage to help reach a resolution in that divorce.
A Certified Divorce Lending Professional should be involved as early on in the process as possible. Qualifying for a mortgage can depend on how the marital settlement agreement is drafted. Failing to consult with a Certified Divorce Lending Professional can prevent parties from reaching their intended result when it comes to obtaining mortgage financing if they cannot qualify for the intended mortgage.
