Seattle Real Estate Talk

Are you working with a lender you haven’t met or know very little about? Here’s a useful site from the City of Seattle’s Office of Housing regarding predatory lending practices. It includes topics such as “Warning Signs”, “Questions to Ask Your Lender”, and “Where and How to File a Complaint”. With its no-nonsense reminder “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is”, this is a helpful bookmark especially for first-time buyers.
