Superior Mortgage Lenders, Gainesville Florida

In today’s mortgage landscape, there are plenty of mortgage lenders Gainesville FL that will be happy to take your application, send it to their processing center, and hope that it closes on time. It doesn’t take much training or experience to fill out an application and gather a few documents.  That where we are different – we are mortgage planners who help you plan the purchase or refinance of what is probably your largest asset.

Not Your Ordinary Mortgage Lenders

Unlike the typical lenders and mortgage brokers in Gainesville, Landmark’s mortgage consultants are dedicated to creating an experience where you can make an educated mortgage financing decision. Together, we will evaluate your personal financial goals to insure they are achievable. Then we will evaluate the various loan products available that complement your overall plan. Our job as mortgage consultants is more than just a “loan officer”. Here at Landmark Mortgage Planners, we help you select the best mortgage loan and integrate it into your overall long and short-term investment strategies.

Have you ever had a mortgage lender say, “Sure I can help you with a mortgage to purchase your home, but let me also show you how owning a home can help you become more financially stable, eliminate debt, and better secure your future”? That’s how Landmark Mortgage Planners are different.  As our name implies – it is more accurate to call us mortgage consultants or mortgage planners. And, the best part? We don’t cost any more than other mortgage lenders in Gainesville.

Not Your Ordinary Mortgage Processing

Many of the mortgage lenders and mortgage brokers in Gainesville will send your application to a centralized processing center out of state. This can make it very difficult to coordinate your file and get your loan done. Landmark’s processing staff, is right here in the same building as our mortgage consultants. Incidentally, Landmark has the very best processors in town – on purpose. Our processors are often complimented for their proficiency and attention to detail, by both our underwriters and our customers. The bottom line – great processors make smoother transactions.

The Mortgage Planning Difference

Our first objective is to close your mortgage loan on time with as little stress as possible. After that, our goal is to help our clients to achieve their Freedom Point quickly.  This is the point in time where your assets become greater than your debts. We help you achieve this through your own personalized mortgage plan, complete with specific strategies, mortgage tools, financial resources and software. When the plan is followed, our mortgage clients eliminate unnecessary, non-preferred debt quickly, while increasing their financial security, liquidity, and average investment rate of return. In addition, our tools and strategies can help you decrease your interest expense and tax exposure with time-tested equity concepts.
