Wanna know my top local recommendation for my clients??⁠

⁠Local lenders.⁠

⁠Don't yawn or keep scrolling, I'm serious - This is actually not well known among buyers!⁠

⁠Here's the skinny...when you write an offer, you have to also submit your pre-approval which has your lender info on it. Sellers want to know you’re qualified!⁠

⁠Because most agents understand the importance of working with a local lender, having an out of state lender on that pre-approval could make your offer look less appealing (especially if there are others you're competing with). ⁠

⁠No joke, I have helped clients beat competing offers BECAUSE THEY HAD A LOCAL LENDER. Agents have worked with enough national lenders to know, local lenders are where it's at.⁠

⁠It’s not to say national lenders are bad, they are just typically much harder to get ahold of. It’s like when you call your internet company because you have a question but you talk to a computer instead. JUST PICK UP THE PHONE, right?⁠

⁠I have a list of trusted local lenders I can refer you to. Do your research but remember your secret weapon is probably just a few blocks away!⁠
