When you’re in the market to purchase a home, you have many options regarding who you’ll choose for your mortgage lender. Do you choose the large banking institution where you have your checking and savings accounts? Your next-door neighbor’s brother works for one of those online mortgage companies… should you call him? Or should you reach out to a local lender who works and lives in the area where you’re looking to buy your home?
Using a local lender like Gershman Mortgage ensures that the loan team you’re working with knows the area, understands your wants and needs, and values the importance of being available to their clients. Being able to pick up the phone and call the same person regarding such a large and important purchase is invaluable, and it’s something you’ll find here at Gershman. We recently had the pleasure of helping a wonderful young borrower named Drew, who was kind enough to answer some questions for us about his purchase experience and why he chose Gershman Mortgage to help him obtain his dream of homeownership.
1. Can you tell us a little about what made you decide to purchase a home recently? It was time to get out from under my parents, and looking at all my friends who pay outrageous rent for apartments made me realize that was a wasteful way to go. In the end, I’d like to have an asset from all my hard work and payments, instead of absolutely nothing!
2. How did you end up choosing Gershman Mortgage as your mortgage lender? My real estate agent actually referred me to a different lender, but their fees were outrageous. I was referred by a friend who knows a Gershman employee. My real estate agent is now looking to work with Gershman more in the future!
3. How would you describe your experience working with Gershman? Were they helpful in educating you throughout the process? Gershman was so helpful in answering every question I had and made me feel confident that I was going down the right path.
4. Did anyone explain the refinance process to you should interest rates decline in the future? Absolutely! If rates drop significantly in the future, I know who I will be contacting.
5. Would you recommend working with Gershman Mortgage to friends or family? Do you think you’ll use them again for future home financing needs? It was such a pleasure working with Gershman. They made everything easy and as stress-free as possible, and I couldn’t be more thankful.
At Gershman Mortgage, you’re more to us than a file number. You’re a real person who is starting on a new journey in your life, and we’re real people who are excited to help.
