This is a heart touching story of a number of local businesses including Amerifirst Home Mortgage coming together to help some of my buyers. It was wonderful to be involved with this project and the family certainly deserved everything that was given to them.
Did your mortgage lender suddenly go radio silent, request the same bank statement for the fourth time, or drop a last-minute loan denial right before your scheduled closing date?
Yesterday, a panicked real estate agent called my office from Portage. Their buyer had been under contract for three weeks on a home near Milwood. The closing date sat just nine days away.
Out of nowhere, the buyer’s out-of-state call-center lender issued a denial letter. The call-center underwriter miscalculated self-employment write-offs, panicked over an unpermitted porch repair on the appraisal, and threw the entire transaction into the trash can.
