I've bought a house. Now what?

By Hills Bank

First off, congratulations!

You’ve taken a major step toward financial independence and security, and hopefully your own satisfaction. Of course, there is still the natural question to ask next: now what?

Within two to three weeks of purchase, your new home is processed by the county assessor. Certain pieces of your mortgage information are public record including the borrowers’ name, address, mortgage holder, and the mortgage amount. New home loans often result in several mortgage service solicitations from companies who purchase that public record data and attempt to sell products, warranties, insurance, etc.

If you have a mortgage with Hills Bank, be aware that:

  • Mailings with mortgage service solicitations like insurance and warranties are not affiliated with Hills Bank.
  • Look closely (frequently in fine print) and you should be able to identify the sender.
  • Hills Bank does not provide this information to these third parties.

If you receive a mailing that is attempting to sell you products, warranties, or additional insurance, know that it is not from Hills Bank or from a company that we have endorsed or vetted.
