Embarking on a career in mortgage lending was fueled by a profound realization: the distinction between purchasing a house and creating a home, a sentiment deeply rooted in the generational essence of home ownership. Since my entry into the industry in 1973, my passion has been to positively impact the lives of my clients. This led me to Southeast Mortgage, where their emphasis on fostering relationships over mere transactions perfectly aligns with my values. Over my eleven-year journey with Southeast Mortgage, I’ve witnessed transformative moments, such as assisting a single mother with a modest income and a credit score of 400 in achieving her dream of homeownership.
Through diligent efforts to address her credit challenges, we secured FHA pre-approval within 90 days, enabling her to purchase a home valued at $180,000. This pivotal step not only provided her son with access to better educational opportunities but also unlocked valuable tax benefits. Fast forward eleven years, and the impact of our relational approach is palpable: her son is now a college graduate in Engineering, she has advanced her career to become a Registered Nurse, and the initial home investment has yielded significant returns. As we embark on securing financing for her dream home valued at $450,000, it’s clear that our commitment to fostering meaningful connections continues to shape the trajectory of our clients’ lives.
