FNB & ICBA Provide Tips to Support the Homebuying Process
In recognition of National Homeownership Month, FNB and the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) are encouraging consumers to consult their local community bank about how to make the homebuying process simple, efficient, and more affordable.
“An important component in building financial independence is owning a home,” stated Annie Suiter, AVP/Senior Mortgage Loan Officer. “At FNB, we want to simplify the homeownership process to make it as easy and affordable as possible. After we assess your needs, we can help find suitable options to finance your home, from first homes to forever homes.”
Whether you are refinancing or purchasing your home, FNB can help you determine:
- The ideal loan amount and products to meet your budget considerations. We can review the mortgage process in detail and flag ideal programs and loan features.
- How mortgage rates, terms, and related expenses (including property taxes and insurance premiums) affect payments. This will help you set a home budget and manage your homeownership expenses.
- Your rights and obligations under your mortgage contract. Today’s consumers have many financing options—each with unique stipulations outlined in the fine print.
- Suitable government-sponsored programs. In addition to federal homeownership and home-buying assistance programs, we can recommend state, local government, and specialty programs for consideration.
“Homeownership is an important step for many Americans in establishing financial stability and strengthening community roots,” said ICBA President and CEO Rebeca Romero Rainey. “Your community bank can help guide you through the process and provide tips to improve your position as informed buyers.”
