Today’s housing market is tough. Make your offer stand out and close on your new house without any surprises.
Make sure that your offer has the best chance of getting accepted.
In today’s competitive market you need to make your offer stand out or risk it getting ignored or rejected.
It’s no secret that today’s housing market is tough. We know that buyers are often nervous when they place an offer on a house and wonder if it will get accepted. With the average home going under contract in just a few days, multiple offers are common.
When you’re in this situation, it’s hard to stand out from all of the other offers without some competitive advantages.
What many people don’t realize is experienced real estate agents always consider a local lender to be more reliable than a massive mortgage mill.
Why? These giant mortgage companies have a goal to process as many loans as possible so sometimes, they’d provide wrong advice. They tend to spend less time reviewing applications and often have less experienced loan officers which results in mistakes, delays, and lack of communication.
We know home buyers are often frustrated by the poor advice, lack of communication and unpleasant last minute surprises they encounter during the lending process. Stories of expensive guideline mistakes, AWOL loan officers and disastrous last minute closing delays are much too common in the mortgage industry.
We have developed predictable, reliable systems to ensure our clients get customized, expert advice with tons of communication.
You can be confident that your loan will get processed quickly and efficiently without mistakes or delays.
You’re backed by our outstanding reputation
We communicate with the listing agents to ensure your offer is presented in the best possible way
With our $5,000 closing guarantee, your offer has the best chance of getting accepted
We help families buy and refinance across the Tri-Cities and the I-81 corridor. If you are shopping or refinancing in one of these communities, you can use a local team with a $5,000 closing guarantee behind the pre-approval.
Licensed in Tennessee and Virginia. Call (423) 406-1567 or apply online if you want a fully underwritten pre-approval before you write the offer.
Buying a home shouldn't come with surprises, especially in a hot Tri-Cities market where multiple offers are the norm.
