How much was your best deal for?

My best deal was priceless. I received a call from another broker asking if I could reach out to a client that was working with another large VA bank that just denied her a week before closing. Little did I know when I called this client, I would spend the rest of my Friday afternoon talking through her situation and trying to fix an issue that should have been identified day one with the other bank.

My client was a single mother who just lost her fiancé a few months earlier and would be homeless in the next few weeks. My heart was broken for her and her children. I was able to identify a solution to approve this client and get her and her children their forever home.

What made it your best deal?

This deal resonates with me on so many levels. One I was emotionally attached from the first, crying phone call to tears of joy at the closing table. I was able to take bad uneducated news and turn it into a positive ending for my client. I also earned a lifelong connection with this client.

What else?

The other lender was charging so much in closing costs fees that the purchase contract had a large contribution to cover the client’s closing fees. Our fees for this veteran were so low that we were able to use the seller’s concession to pay off her car loan and save her over $600 per month. This client not only got the home of her dreams but a large monthly savings that any single mother could use.
