As a Real Estate Professional with over 15 years experience, it is very important to have a good business relationship with a lender. DeAnn Ellis with Element Funding has been my go to lender for over 10 years. She (as well as her team) share the same three fundamental values as I do with all of my Clients and Customer: Exceptional Customer Service, Explaining the Home Buying/Mortgage Lending Process, and Getting the Deal Closed (on time). DeAnn also goes above and beyond for her business clients as well. I look forward to our continued business relationship, and working with her as we help others into Home Ownership.

Everyone’s home buying experience should be as exceptional as ours was at Hanely Mill. Every person involved from start to finish provided amazing service, and made it seem like they were working for US and not just trying to sell us something. Big shout out to Jane, our realtor at the Homestore and Melissa from Element Funding-we would recommend them to anyone and everyone. And the best part-our home is beautiful (especially considering the price) and is a perfect fit. We couldn’t be happier! ~Christopher Biagiotti “I just love receiving reviews like this from satisfied customers. Thank you Element Funding for a job well done!”

I have been a licensed Realtor/Broker/Business Owner in the Real Estate business for almost 20 years so I have done business with numerous leaders and DeAnn Ellis is my number one choice and has been for many years.

A DIVISION OF PRIMARY RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE INC.
Attention Agent What to expect from the Ellis Mortgage Team:
We would be honored to work with you and will promise to provide you and your client with amazing service. What makes us stand out? Here are just a few items:
Always available to answer all questions that you or your borrower have. We have an “open door” policy at Element Funding and invite borrowers to stop by anytime. We also have an office line and cell that we use so we are easily reached.
We provide you and your borrower with weekly updates of where in the process the loan is. Automated emails also go out from time to time when the status on the loan changes.
Once the file is officially approved out of Underwriting, we send a congratulatory gift to the borrower on behalf of you, the agent, and The Ellis Mortgage Team. The gift is sent to the borrower’s work address, giving exposure and hopefully helping you build your referral base.
We invite you to allow us to help your seller if they are purchasing a home. We will create a flawless transaction – back to back closings. As a bonus, we will waive the appraisal fee for the seller.
e want to help build your referral base too! To do that, we send W popcorn baskets to the borrower’s place of employment on behalf of you, the agent and my team. This allows maximum exposure for possible referrals.
I n house Processing, Underwriting and Closing departments. We have immediate access to all these departments making the whole process easier and efficient.
nce the loan closes, we give the borrower a personalized gift for their O new home.
These steps have been implemented so not only we, the lender, stand out but YOU do as well. We are commited to having a long-term relationship with our borrowers and agents. With over 60 years combined in the mortgage industry, it is our goal to make sure everyone involved has the best experience possible to build future business and relationships in the process.
Element Express Element Express:
Element Express was implemented to provide you, the agent, a piece of mind when helping potential buyers. This process ensures that the borrower’s documentation has been reviewed and conditionally Underwritten, which reduces the chances for unforeseen circumstances.
The Steps:
Credit preapproval – this is based on the credit report and the information the borrower provided without providing any documentation.
We issue a credit approval letter and request supporting documentation so we may review the accuracy of the information provided by the applicant.
The applicant has 48 hours to return necessary documentation to review. Commitment Approval - within 24 hours after receipt of the documents requested, the file is reviewed and Underwriting approved. You and the borrower will receive a Commitment Certificate that is verification that the applicant passed one or more underwriting verifications. This certificate is subject to the appraisal, other conditions related to the property and final approval* by an Underwriter.
By following these steps, it also ensures we are ahead of the game when it comes to completing the file once we receive a contract from you. Since we already have most or all documentation from the borrower, our timeframe is drastically reduced and we are able to meet all closing dates** per the contract. *Final approval may require additional information from the applicant, changes to the applicant’s creditworthiness or financial position or changes in the market may affect the loan amount for which the applicant may qualify. **USDA and DCA/GA Dream closing dates cannot be guaranteed due to their UW turn-times.

DeAnn Ellis
DeAnn Ellis From the outset, DeAnn Ellis relished the challenges of becoming a loan officer. As a single mother, she learned early on the necessity of hard work and applied that same diligent spirit to her role in the mortgage industry. Beginning her career as a bank teller, DeAnn ambitiously approached her branch manager and asked for more responsibility to work as a lender. Undaunted by the training required, DeAnn got to work and ultimately earned her license, swiftly ascending the ranks of her industry to become a regional top producer at the young age of 22. Almost two decades later, DeAnn has cultivated a striking reputation built on integrity, follow through, and an unflagging work ethic. Copyright Featured Agent Magazine
While DeAnn is licensed throughout the state of Georgia, she and her team of eight mortgage professionals primarily serve greater Atlanta’s eastern region, including Covington, Conyers, Loganville, and Winder. As top producers under the banner of Element Funding, DeAnn and her team focus on purchase lending. Their office extends a range of products to homebuyers from all walks of life — from Conventional, FHA and VA, to USDA, Georgia Dream, and many more. With her clients’ long term financial success squarely in focus, DeAnn also lends her seasoned perspective to hopeful homebuyers seeking to establish better credit, or in helping firsttime homebuyers navigate the intricacies of the
lending process. All in all, DeAnn’s working philosophy is epitomized by forthright communication, responsiveness, and determination on her clients’ behalf. “As a team, we always try to be on the cutting edge of the industry and stay consistent with our clients,” DeAnn explains. “Our goal is to exceed expectations.” Persistence and a never-say-die attitude are built into the very fabric of DeAnn’s work. Not only did her unassailable ethic drive her early days of success in the industry, but she also keeps that same entrepreneurial spirit alive by setting an example for her team as well as her two daughters. “If you work hard,
the sky is the limit,” she reflects. “When you do something that you love and you’re called to do — it’s not a job. You’re helping people achieve the goal of homeownership. I try to be a role model to my kids and let them know that you have to be able to count on yourself and work hard every step of the way.” It is that same tenacity that clients and agent referral partners count on when enlisting DeAnn’s services, confident in her ability to deliver time and time again. As deeply rooted members of their local community, DeAnn and her team give back through participation with Action Ministries, a hunger relief program Copyright Featured Agent Magazine

serving children in the area. Together, they participate in organizing backpack lunches for kids in need, in addition to contributing to a summer program ensuring that a lack of school doesn’t mean a lack of food for children at risk. DeAnn’s office fundraises for the program year-round. In her rare free hours, DeAnn enjoys spending time with her children and supporting her youngest daughter’s competitive cheerleading efforts. As for the future, DeAnn has plans in place to further
her team’s development, with hopes to foster new talent as volume continues to grow year over year. Likewise, DeAnn values continuing education and applies it to her business model to ensure officers are ahead of the curve when it comes to new technologies and products, all to maximize their ability to serve as many people as possible en route to homeownership. With a track record of success that spans nearly two decades and an unrelenting spirit of ambition and service, there are certainly no signs of slowing for DeAnn Ellis and her team.
