Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Our team and support staff have decades of experience in the mortgage business. Our primary goal has and always will be to use that experience to educate our clients and arm them with the information they need to make the best financial decisions possible!
What is your primary product or service?
We specialize in working with first-time home buyers and families that are relocating to Kalamazoo.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Have always taken a high interest in financial information, budgeting, investing and current events. After graduating with a degree in finance and marketing from Central Michigan University, I spent the first five years of my career writing mortgages for a large retail bank. After producing for two years, I earned a promotion which allowed me to manage a $100,000,000.00 loan portfolio. This experience gives me a very unique perspective into the mortgage business as I have been involved in all facets, not just origination.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
By treating people like neighbors and not numbers. The biggest problem as small business owners that we have seen in the "too big to fail" model is that through it all the big banks have really lost touch with their clients. We make a conscious effort to make every transaction as personal as possible, we may do this several times a month, but to our clients this is a major life event and we do not take that lightly.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
Currently we are located off of Stadium Drive in Kalamazoo. We have been blessed with the greatest clients in the world and ideally we will expand within the next three years into the St. Joseph and South Haven markets.
What type of payments do you accept?
check, credit card, certified funds
