SESLOC is the #BestJobEver because: Everyone works together as a team and treats you like family.
Tell us about your fastest loan: A couple was due to have a baby within the next month and looking to purchase their first home, so of course we were against the clock. Luckily, we were able to qualify them and they moved in — with a few days to spare! They were so happy the purchase transaction was smooth they stopped by SESLOC to thank me, and let me meet their newborn daughter. Such a treat!
Best advice for first-time home buyers: You want to feel comfortable with your new housing payment. You might qualify for a higher mortgage, but would you still be able to do the things you love with a higher monthly payment? Be sure to consider your desires versus your needs, and how a monthly mortgage may impact your lifestyle.
