After 3 grueling days in the trenches of mortgage origination, I am compelled to share 3 reminders of why I love helping people achieve the American dream.
1. About a week ago I submitted a customer's VA loan application to buy a home for which they thought they had little chance of approval. Yesterday we received the underwriter's initial loan approval and she was THRILLED by the news that they are well on their way toward home ownership.
2. About a month ago I began working with someone who said she wanted me to be "brutally honest" about her and her husband's chances to buy a home. I was not able to prequalify them initially but reviewed some strategies to improve their situation. She put some of the advice into action and yesterday I delivered her a prequalification letter. I thought I heard tears through the phone. I'm expecting them to make an offer on a house today.
3. This morning connected on Facebook with a past first-time homebuyer client who closed on their house in March. I was able to see pictures of the work they've already completed and read their expressions of excitement and joy to be home owners!
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your American Dream!
