[K8]Katelyn From The Real World

by Kelly Renaul, Kel

At Little Dix Bay you get the impression of unhurried time, serenity and peace as you enter its well-manicured gardens and footpaths. Guest rooms and villas blend right into the island's lush landscape. Romantic views are available from every room and the raw beauty of Virgin Gorda only adds to the charm.

Step out into the porch or patio to feel the bracing breeze that Virgin Gorda is famous for. And when you step out of Little Dix Bay, you can enjoy breathtaking sights of white sand beaches, jade-like hillsides, and crystal clear waters of the British Virgin Islands. The resort offers complimentary services and amenities such as snorkeling gear and lessons, kayaks, small sailboats and water taxis to transport you to other nearby beaches. Hiking trails are also nearby, and if you prefer to simply relax on the grounds, coffee is served every morning and tea in the afternoon.

The exotic plant life at Virgin Gorda's many national parks is also a major draw. At the Little Fort National Park you can watch several species of migratory birds flying over the hills and trees. If nature is what you are after, Little Dix offers guided snorkeling tours, island tours and scuba diving. Also available are luxury yacht charters, private beach dinners, water-skiing, fishing charters and sunset cocktail cruises.

If you are fond of discovering history and culture, Virgin Gorda also has plenty to offer. Visit the ruins of Little Fort National Park, explore the Cornish Copper Mines, or learn about the impact the British had on the local culture in Spanish Town. Afterwards, unwind at the luxurious Spa at Little Dix Bay and indulge in one of their signature treatments in a private cottage nestled among lush tropical gardens.

Little Dix is luxury travel at its finest. Every activity, from spending the day out on the water, discovering the culture of a Caribbean island, to rejuvenating at a first class spa, this resort has it covered; this is the ultimate retreat from the "real world."

Online home mortgage quotes are very similar to the quotes given by mortgage brokers in “the real world,” except lower. With the reduced cost due to a simplified application process and reduce overhead for office space and personnel, online mortgage lenders can offer financing with no fees or lower interest rates.

Looking At Fees

Fees are the hidden costs of loans. Mortgage brokers are paid in fees or points on the mortgage loan. The advantage of a mortgage broker is that they find the best mortgage rates for you. So even with their fee added into the loan, you still can expect to save money.

Online mortgage brokers have automated much of the mortgage loan process, reducing costs. As a way to stay competitive, many of these lenders have eliminated or reduced their fees.

Interest Rate Quotes

Both traditional and online mortgage brokers can give you an instant generic interest rate quote to narrow your choices from a mortgage lender. However, to get a true quote, you will need to provide detailed personal and financial information. With a traditional mortgage broker, the process can take a couple of days to process the information and meet with the mortgage broker to review rates.

Online mortgage lenders connected all their databases to be able to provide you with a near instant quote. Occasionally there can be delays in processing your information if you have recently moved or changed names or jobs.

Difference Is Sales Styles

Online and traditional mortgage brokers differ in their sales style when relaying quotes to you. A traditional mortgage broker will use sales tactics to pressure you to complete the mortgage application right there. Many people feel the need to make a quick decision rather than taking the time to process the information.

Online mortgage lenders offer a different approach; they provided the information, then wait for you to take the next step. After requesting a mortgage quote, you will receive rates either through the website or through email that you can review at your own pace. You can choose to apply with a specific mortgage lender, or decide that none of them are best for you.
