Happy Memorial Day.

Whether you’re spending it working, at camp, or out on the lake, let’s take a moment to honor and remember the men and women who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸

And with that being said… we’ll be on the lake today, but my computer will still be in the car. 😅

So if your lender isn’t picking up the phone, give me a call or text at 207-307-1822 and let’s get some people pre-approved and those offers submitted!

Quick reminder for buyers and agents:

A lot of lenders are currently offering things like appraisal credits and other incentives.

For example, one of our lending partners, United Wholesale Mortgage, is currently offering $600 toward the appraisal on purchase transactions.

The real advantage of working with a mortgage broker isn’t just one promotion, it’s having access to multiple lenders, multiple programs, and multiple pricing options to make sure you’re actually getting the best overall deal!!

We appreciate partners like UWM helping make homeownership a little easier for buyers right now. 👊

It doesn’t start with the offer…
It starts with your financing.

Getting fully pre-approved (not just pre-qualified) shows sellers you’re serious, strong, and ready to close.

That means:

✅ More confidence making offers
✅ Stronger position in multiple-offer situations
✅ Fewer surprises during underwriting
✅ Smoother path to the closing table

In today’s market, preparation = power.

If you’re thinking about buying, let’s get you fully approved and ready to win.

Want to stand out in a competitive market? Get pre-approved! It's quick, easy, and could make all the difference

🚫 Mortgage Myth: “You need 20% down to buy.”
✅ Truth: There are loan programs that allow low or even zero down payment for qualified buyers.
The biggest mistake? Assuming you don’t qualify without checking.
