Lucasey's Italian Bistro

We are very fortunate here in Marysville to have lots of good choices for places to eat and the list of good restaurants seems to keep growing all the time. This past weekend - I decided to check out Lucasey's Italian Bistro. This is Marysville's first italian restaurant. It is located where the Sandy's Bar and Grill used to be across the street from Lowes and behind Aldi's. Locationwise it is a bit hard to find but it like a little hidden treasure it is well worth the hunt. The menu is simple and classic italian but also offers small plates or tapas. They also have a decent selection of italian meats and cheeses. We ordered the fried risotto balls for an appetizer. The 4 large risotto balls were made from scratch and served with their marinara sauce. The main dishes come with a salad and breadsticks (think Olive Garden). I ordered the angry pasta which is penne pasta with a spicy white wine sauce, italian sausage, peppers and onions. It was spicy and delicious. My husband ordered the chicken parmesan - which is one of his favorites. We were both very pleased with our meals and had plenty for leftovers. Our total bill was under $40 for a very fabulous meal. So if you are looking for a new place to try out or craving some italian cuisine but don't feel like driving to Dublin. I would definately recommend Lucasey's Italian Bistro.

CHOOSE A MORTGAGE LENDER THAT MEETS YOUR NEEDS

If you’re looking to secure a loan that will help you purchase the home of your dreams, it’s important to have an ethical, qualified and dependable mortgage lender on your side—protecting your best interests and helping you get the loan that's right for you. Your lender should be a trusted partner who understands the array of loans offered, and can match them to your needs, wants and desires.

So how do you go about selecting a mortgage lender? You can always start with costs. Look for lenders who offer the best interest rates, and ask to see a list of applicable fees and closing costs upfront to compare prices. If a prospective lender refuses to quote interest rates or service costs, move to a different lender. It’s important to find a lender that gives you direct answers. If a lender quotes numbers that seem way too good to be true, then make sure you investigate his or her services. There may be hidden fees and some unethical practice taking place.

You should also look for lenders who are accredited to show that they are properly trained in the field. Search for a broker who’s certified by the National Association of Mortgage Brokers. Always ask for references and call those references to find out how satisfied they were with the service and ultimately their loan. Agents typically have good referrals for mortgage lenders, so don’t forget to consult your real estate agent.

Also, check to see if the real estate company you are using to buy or sell your home offers mortgage services. A one-stop-shop will make the home-buying and selling process less stressful.

Don’t know too much about the loan process? No problem. A good mortgage lender will help you learn the ins and outs of a mortgage, no matter how long it takes. They’ll explain all the terms and jargon and will calculate the numbers for you as many times as you need to understand them. Don’t be afraid to say “I don’t understand.” You can use this process as a learning experience.

A good lender should always be available. Applying for a loan can be a complicated process, so you want someone who is around when you need help. In addition, mortgage lenders should not leave you guessing. They should give you a good faith estimate early in the process, so you aren’t surprised when it comes time to close.

Finally, your personalities must mesh. If they don’t, it will be very difficult to work together. Mortgage lenders are assisting you with a very important financial decision, so you need someone you can trust, who fits with your personality and with whom you have a good rapport. Knowing you’re in trusting hands will allow you to relax during the process – not agonize over it.
