ABN AMRO Mortgage's 'Custom Home Building' Seminars Offer Consumers Free Expert Advice

    CHICAGO, March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- ABN AMRO Mortgage, a division of ABN AMRO
Mortgage Group, Inc., recently began offering a program titled, "Custom Home
Building", to consumers in the Chicago area.  This program takes consumers
through the custom home building process, from financial planning to
occupancy.
    Expert tips and tactics offered through the seminar include:

    How to achieve a stress-free construction process
    Participants in ABN AMRO Mortgage's "Custom Home Building" seminar benefit
from expert advice on a variety of topics including budgeting, choosing a
custom home design and selecting a builder.  "An educated consumer is
empowered," states Mark Sofyanos, senior vice president of ABN AMRO Mortgage.
"Once an understanding of the custom home building process is achieved,
decisions on specific aspects, from the mortgage to the floor plan, are made
with confidence, thereby reducing unnecessary stress and worry."

    Financing your dream home's construction
    Consumers attending ABN AMRO Mortgage's "Custom Home Building" seminar are
advised to research loan options to ensure they choose the mortgage that best
meets their specific needs.  Loan options reviewed in the "Custom Home
Building" seminar include ABN AMRO Mortgage's "Lot Loan" program that offers
the consumer a 5-year plan to save for, and to build, a custom home.
    "Construction loans are as varied as the custom homes consumers finance,"
advises Sofyanos.  "Consumers should seek a lender that not only offers
mortgage expertise, but also a variety of loan options to consider.  The home
building process is detail-oriented and complex, therefore consumers should
consider simplicity when financing, such as AAMG's 'One Time Close' mortgage,
when choosing a construction loan product."

    What is a realistic expectation?
    Building a custom home is an experience unique to each individual, but the
process requires the same level of conscientious planning and execution.
Consumers should approach the process only after completing thorough research
to ensure their expectations are realistic and their goals are attainable.
Custom home expert Tom Stephani, president of Custom Construction Concepts,
Inc., and presenter at ABN AMRO Mortgage's, "Custom Home Building", seminars,
said, "Experiencing a satisfying custom home build requires consumer
education.  Consumers need to be prepared to not only afford their dream home,
but also to make a commitment to the time and effort the process requires."
