ABOUT Janet Pagan

I entered the mortgage industry 25 years ago and developed my expertise in the mortgage lending industry as an entrepreneur. I pursued my passion to help people achieve the reality of the American dream of homeownership thereby building generational wealth. I have built a boutique business practice based on relationships with consistent referrals and in educating borrowers regarding the complex home buying process and mortgage options so they can make informed decisions that will give them financing tailored to their needs, listening to those needs and future desires, and pairing them with the best loan program to fit their lifestyle.

I pride myself as being a Latina who speaks fluent Spanish and I have dedicated to helping Hispanics achieve the dream of homeownership.

I am an active participant and volunteer in my community by serving on various groups and Associations such as President of the Rotary Club of Englewood NJ Mortgage Bankers Association Women’s Committee, Regional Director NNJ Board Director, Women with Vision Founder and President, Bergen County Latino American Chamber of Commerce I have received industry awards and recipient of the Women with Vision award for the past several years, and have been named in industry publications most recently awarded as Honoree of the 2024 Leaders in Finance by NJBiz. I have also collaborated as co-author on several books.

HOME MORTGAGE OPTIONS

When it comes to home mortgages, the amount of options can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, purchasing a new home, or want to refinance your existing mortgage, it’s important to understand the different types of home mortgages available and which best fit your goals.

Generally, there are four primary types of home mortgages:

Government Backed Loans: Loans that are insured by the federal government, have lower credit score and down payment requirements, and have potentially higher interest rates.

Conventional Loans: Loans that are not backed by the federal government, typically require higher credit score and down payments, but may have lower interest rates.

Non-Qualified Loans: Loan options that do not meet specific criteria set by regulatory bodies, making them suitable for individuals with unique financial situations.

Non-Conforming Loans: Loans that exceed the standard loan limits and do not conform to government-sponsored loan guidelines.

Whatever loan type you choose, many will give you a choice between a fixed or adjustable interest rate.

Fixed Interest Rates: When the interest rate percentage remains the same throughout the life of the loan, offering predictability and stability.

Adjustable Interest Rates: When the interest rate percentage may start lower than a fixed rate but increases over time, depending on various factors.
