Selling a House With a Mortgage:  Navigating the loan balance with lender

When selling a property with an existing mortgage, collaborating closely with your lender is paramount. Ensure the loan pays off according to plan by seeking guidance from your lender. They will provide crucial information, such as the exact remaining balance on the loan.
