Hello Lewis, Jessica. Nice to meet you both. I’m Mrs. Simmons.
So tell me about the house you found.
It’s an old home that needs to be renovated but it’s in a fantastic family-friendly neighborhood. It’s on Maple Street. And the price is great!
What is their asking price?
$220,000, but the realtor says we can probably get it down to $200,000.
That is a good price for that neighborhood. You will need extra funds for the renovation, won’t you?
No, my father and uncle have a family business in home renovation and we have some savings so we won’t need any extra money.
Okay, great. We can offer you a low-interest rate mortgage.
What is required to get the mortgage?
You need to bring me a copy of your last paychecks and tax returns and we’ll have to check your credit history.
Is there anything else that we’ll need?
The house will need to be valued and you must open an account at our bank.
Okay, I will prepare those documents and bring them to you next week.
Great. See you next week. If you have any questions, here is my business card.
