About the Maplewood, New Jersey Area 
Maplewood is a favorite destination for people who want a great commute to New York City, a charming downtown and a strong sense of community. Residents prize diversity in terms of outlook, interests and people. The 30 minute train ride from Midtown Manhattan makes this the perfect destination for buyers coming from NYC, Hoboken, Jersey City and other areas of the city.
Once buyers discover Maplewood for themselves they share their discovery with friends and family and often encourage their move here as well.The commute from Maplewood to New York City is served by the NJ Transit bus and rail lines. The Midtown Direct Service has made the commute to midtown Manhattan easy, fast and convenient. Newark Airport is another bonus being only fifteen minutes away.
Maplewood is also close to two major hospitals, St. Barnabas and Overlook.

First Time Buyers >Good Faith Estimates
Several years ago the U.S. Congress tried to protect consumers from a few unscrupulous lenders by requiring all lenders to calculate and disclose the annual percentage rate (APR) you pay on your mortgage loan. But most homebuyers will learn more by directing their attention to the Good Faith Estimate of Settlement Costs (GFE). Although Congress meant well, in practice the APR is not helpful and may be confusing.
If you are looking for a good way to understand your costs of borrowing and/or to compare one lender's costs to another, the GFE is your best bet. Get your lender(s) to provide a written GFE before you commit your mortgage business. When reviewing a GFE, keep in mind that the lender actually controls only a certain portion of the disclosed costs. Other parties typically control costs of appraisal, settlement, title insurance, recording fees and taxes, survey, and the "prepaid" expenses of homeowner's insurance, mortgage insurance, real estate taxes, etc. Review these origination fees, discount points, etc. and you will have the ability to understand the full costs of your proposed mortgage loan.
