Q: What are some of the biggest changes you have seen in the mortgage business during your career?
A: The biggest changes I have seen in the mortgage business are the loan products and more restrictive guidelines.
Q: What do you think is the greatest benefit of Step Up for homebuyers?
A: I close about 30 percent of my business using an AHFA program. The great benefit of the Step Up program for homebuyers is that it allows them to purchase a home with no money down. The program allows homebuyers an opportunity to save the money for extra moving expenses and put money back for unknown expenses.
Q: What makes you recommend the Step Up program to your customers?
A: I have had many customers that were able to qualify credit wise but did not have the 3% or 3.5% down payment. The Step Up program assisted many of my first-time homebuyers who needed the down payment to ensure they did not exhaust all their funds to purchase a house. The assistance is such a tremendous blessing.
Q: What do you like most about working with our programs?
A: The process is very simple. You can get an approval in less than three days if your loan officer completes the required tasks in a timely manner. Plus, the people are awesome and really care about the homebuyers. I can really tell that AHFA is serious about serving the community and making a major life changing difference for homebuyers.
Q: What do you think makes you a great lender?
A: I love serving people and helping them become homeowners. Being a homeowner is an amazing reward. I am so thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in someone’s life. It makes my heart smile to the see the homeowners at the closing table. It is such a blessing!
