Steering you through the mortgage oceans.
Our aim at ARK Mortgage Solutions (ARK) is to make the process of obtaining a mortgage for your home purchase or refinance a simple one.
We prefer to speak ‘with’ not ‘at’ clients, helping them make informed decisions.
It can be daunting to begin searching for mortgage finance by yourself without the benefit of an expert to guide you. With our help and support you will become more knowledgeable and confident with planning the way ahead.
Please feel free to ask any questions or request contact by using our links below.
ARK Mortgage Solutions is a brokerage developed with the intention of making the client fully aware of the mortgage process, so they go into a purchase or refinance with their eyes open. Borrowers are actively encouraged to take mortgage loans best suited to meet their needs.
Everyone involved with ARK is concerned that the client’s best interest should be at the forefront of our thinking and action. You will find our advice is considered and centered on you and your circumstances.

Foreign National
Many lenders offer mortgage loan finance to Foreign Nationals to help them buy or refinance a Second Home and/or Investment Property in Florida.
On the surface they all may appear to have similar products and criteria; however, look a little closer and the finer detail will make the difference between whether to approach a particular lender or not.
Some of the more obvious differences include the minimum amount a lender will accept an application for, or the maximum loan to value. The less apparent details could include the total value of reserves required by a lender to be held on deposit at closing or, the County in which they will lend.
Within ARK we can order or renew your ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) which you’ll need for dealings with the IRS.
We take time to carefully review your circumstances, enabling us to make the appropriate recommendation to suit your needs and to guide you in the right direction.
Do you need to make an international money transfer? Using a traditional bank may not be the most cost-efficient way.
We would suggest contacting Moneycorp Currency Exchange for competitive rates and no transfer fees.
Contact our local Moneycorp partner – Iva Slavtcheva and she can assist with the process. Click on the Moneycorp logo above for more details.
Domestic
When an individual looking for mortgage finance has a Social Security Number, it doesn’t mean the mortgage market becomes a simple place to be.
If anything, there is so much choice and there are so many decisions to make that it becomes more complicated, more overwhelming.
We are here to listen and to help. Feel free to contact us to answer your questions. We will be delighted to discuss your circumstances in more detail to ensure we are in a position to offer you the best advice possible.
Refinance
The option of Refinancing is often casually brought into a conversation about mortgages and property.
Moving to a new lender for a lower interest rate has its appeal; however, there are questions to consider before taking this step.
For example:
·What are the costs involved?
·Are there any existing penalties to be incurred?
·How long do you expect to keep the property?
·Do you want to release equity (Cash out)?
Speak to us if you are considering refinancing to explore the options.
