Top 3 three issues most people find while working with loan officers in the mortgage business1. My loan officer wants tons of paperwork and the few times they call wants more and more2. I was told we could close on Friday but we have been pushed back for the third time3. I don't hear anything from my loan officer and I am stressed out about the processMy answer to why this happens : Lack of Experience!I have personally underwritten more loans then 99% of loan officers will ever touch in their careers. I use this experience not to "guess" what is needed or why but provide clear cut honest communication and action steps. Just like a good mechanic can listen to your car and in a few minutes figure out the issue, I do the same with loans. I don't just know the guidelines, I have trained underwriters for 9+ years on how to handle thousands of loans to meet guidelines.Trust me with your mortgage needs and let me know if I can help you with any of the top three reasons listed or any other issue!Why choose First Michigan Mortgage* In business for over 20 years (formerly known as The Watson Group)* Exclusive loan programs not offered by most local mortgage offices* Ability to help a wide range of buyersFirst Michigan Mortgage offers:Purchase, Refinance, FHA, VA, Low FICO, USDA, Jumbo, 80/10/10 and 100% LTV HELOC's
