First, I do not sell anything. My mission is to fulfill your goals, whether it’s to finance your first home or to put you into a better place financially. I view my interactions with clients as a journey, not a quick-hit transaction.
Next, it’s important to understand that I interview people for a living. During the interview, I gather information about you, asking very important poignant questions so I can understand what your needs are. Once I know about you, I then lay out how the process works (the process is unique to your objectives). I make certain you come away from our meeting with far more knowledge about the real estate/financing transaction than you came in with. All of your questions will be answered, and I’ll cover items that you may not have known to ask.
Finally, we’ll put a plan in place. If you’re a buyer, it makes no difference to me if you purchase next week, in a couple of months or in a couple of years. The plan consists of setting expectations that are very “real world.” You may need time to save for a down payment or a bit of credit improvement (a service I provide at no charge). Remember, this is a journey which can be short or much longer—that is completely up to you and your comfort level.
Well, that’s me. I dare to be different in my profession. There are far too many pushy salespeople that call themselves loan officers.
I vowed long ago not to be one of them…
Very Sincerely,
Scott W. Lawson
