My wife and I were first-time home buyers this year and didn't really know where to begin. A good…read morefriend of ours, who works in the lending sector, highly recommended Sam as a good jump-off point to start the process.
After our first meeting with Sam, we knew we were in good hands. He took the time to explain the whole borrowing (and buying) process to us in a way we (as newbies) would understand. He's highly intelligent, clearly knows his business exceptionally well, seems passionate about it. Not to mention, he's quick as a whip and he keeps the pressure to an ultimate low.
We carried on, looking for places and going to open houses, Sam was in contact with us throughout. He even offered expertise on building structure codes and deficiencies. Like i said, he's knowledgeable. Our hunt for the perfect place dragged on, as were are very particular. This didn't hinder our relationship with Sam. He touched base often, and kept our spirits up, determined that we find a place we love.
When we found it, Sam went in to high gear. He moved quickly, making sure we had our finances coordinated by the deadlines we needed. He even guided us in getting our credit in order!
He was a workhorse, and never, did we feel he didn't have the situation under complete control. He sent us spreadsheets with mortgage options, allowing us to chose whats best for our situation. He knows the market, we could tell he'd get us involved with a good lender. He offered his opinions when called upon, but encouraged us to have our own and make our own decisions. He facilitated this by giving us as much information as we needed to do so.
We got the place we wanted, we loved, and are in debt to Sam for making it (too) easy! Sam is loyal, hardworking, always available, easy to get along with, well-spoken and knowledgeable. He'll also make what could possibly be the biggest, most stressful decision of your life, a fun and easy one.
If you need financing on a home, call Sam.
Best case scenario: you end up like us!
Worst case scenario: you're far more informed, and you probably have a new buddy!
Good Luck!
