Helping First-Time Homebuyers Achieve Their Dream of Homeownership
Steve Messineo, President and CEO of the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce, interviews Hanchell Gomes, a loan officer with Movement Mortgage. Gomes specializes in helping first-time homebuyers, especially those in the Haitian community, navigate the mortgage process.
Gomes discusses her background working with numbers as a real estate accountant before transitioning into the mortgage industry. With her ability to speak Haitian Creole, Gomes provides extra guidance to Haitian immigrants looking to purchase homes in Massachusetts.
They talk about the current challenges in the housing market including low inventory and rising interest rates. Gomes shares tips for homebuyers even in this climate, like looking at homes that have been on the market longer and putting in offers below asking price.
