If you are asking yourself whether it is a good thing to make a prepayment on your mortgage, and you don’t know the answer, you are in the enviable position of probably needing some financial or tax advice.  Merely asking the questions and realizing that you might need advice puts you in the minority of most people.

Whether you should pre-pay your mortgage is a VERY good question, but not knowing anything about you, or your finances, I cannot answer.  This video will hopefully give you a little bit of insight as to an answer, and at the very least, will give you some more information as to what other questions you should ask.

Remember, each individual’s situation is different, and similarly situated people may have alternatives that would make sense.  Consult with your financial or tax adviser to help you with your decisions.

I was sworn in as an attorney in 1982, and now in my 4th decade of practice, have spent virtually all of my time as a residential real estate closing attorney.  My italicizing ‘closing’  is intended to be a very sobering description of how I operate, as I take very seriously my clients’ intent to close on their real estate transaction.  Towards that end, I’ll do almost anything in my power, using the experience I’ve amassed over my career, and the skills I continue to hone, to ensure that a closing happens on time.

While I can discuss with you the technical things that I do to represent a client, the best description of what I do is that of a guide – taking you by the hand in order to avoid the many pitfalls that can plague a closing.  As I do that, while I work with realtors and loan officers, I like to think that my skills and vigilence help them avoid having to pull their hair out!

Check out what I find important when I represent the best interests of my clients.
