Financing

Unless you are paying cash for your home purchase in Las Vegas, you will need to obtain a mortgage loan from a bank, credit union or mortgage lender. There are many different loan programs available and the requirements for each vary greatly. Some loans are backed or insured by the government with the actual money coming from a private lender. Loans not backed or insured by the government are issued directly from lenders and have different requirements. The team at Addicted Realty can help connect you with a mortgage professional who can discuss the various loan programs available to you and help determine the program that best fits your needs. When an Addicted Realty Realtor® sits with you to write an offer on the house you want to buy, we will help structure the offer in the best possible manner taking into consideration the type of financing you are using.
