Lenders need to release some liabilities in order to originate new loans. This does not affect your mortgage, but it is important to pay close attention. Vue keeps some mortgages in-house, meaning we do not sell them, but some loans may be sold. Your lending expert can help you decide what is the best option for your loan.

There is a waiting period involved, but yes! The general rule of thumb is 3 years.

YES! Don't quit your job, finance a new vehicle, or max out a credit card before closing on your new home! Lenders pull your credit again prior to closing and also verify employment.
