CenturyPoint Mortgage Certified as an Upfront Mortgage Lender

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 16, 2008 -- CenturyPoint Mortgage, a division of First Century Bank, N.A., announced today that the company recently received certification as an Upfront Mortgage Lender.

The Upfront Mortgage Lender (UML) program was created in 2003 by Jack Guttentag, professor emeritus of finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The program was the first of its kind to help borrowers identify lenders that are committed to treating them fairly throughout the lending process.

Guttentag, also known as the "Mortgage Professor," runs the MtgProfessor.com (http://www.MtgProfessor.com) website, which educates consumers on how to evaluate their home mortgage options, compare the true cost of loans and find lenders that are committed to open and honest lending practices.

CenturyPoint has met the rigorous requirements to become a certified Upfront Mortgage Lender, which include providing detailed loan pricing online, disclosing and guaranteeing all lender fees, and clearly explaining rate lock requirements. A UML must also inform borrowers if its loan officers are compensated in a way that might incent them to overcharge a borrower, such as a percentage based commission or bonus structure. (CenturyPoint loan officers are paid a flat fee per loan.)

With its exclusive RateMatch web-based loan pricing system, CenturyPoint makes the search for a home loan fast and efficient for borrowers. Through the company's website at www.CenturyPointMortgage.com, borrowers can search rates on hundreds of loan products, and apply for a mortgage or request a rate lock at any time. The website contains free mortgage calculators as well as educational information about mortgages, home buying and consumer credit.

When Refinancing A Mortgage Doesn't Help
Most of the time, refinancing your mortgage will result in a lower interest rate and/or lower monthly payments. It may shorten the length of time you have to pay on your mortgage until it's completely paid off. Refinancing can also help you use some of the equity in your home to pay off other bills- and many people use it to get themselves out of credit card debt, pay off personal loans or even their vehicles. The benefits of refinancing are many- but there are instances when refinancing your mortgage can do more harm than good.

Air Miles Credit Card ? A Great Way To Keep Flying
People who fly should have airline credit cards. Air miles credit cards give you points or miles, for each purchase you make with the card and the miles or points are redeemable for travel related expenses.

Should you happen to be among that elite group we refer to as frequent flyers, because of your regular use of travel you accumulate miles and points faster, and that can save you substantially on your travel and airfare expenses.

Loan Payment Insurance Can Protect Your Loan But Read The Terms And Conditions
The terms and conditions that come with loan payment insurance do differ, which means that when comparing quotes you also have to compare the key facts. The key facts detail the exclusions in a policy and there are some that are seen on a regular basis in policies. Those who are of retirement age, are working for themselves, have an ongoing illness or who only work for a few hours each week would not benefit from cover. However, if the illness has not been present during the two years before applying for a policy then this exclusion would not apply. The same goes for those in self-employment who find themselves unable to continue trading through no fault of their own.
