Success Stories – $13,000 Seller Credit

Success Stories – $13,000 Seller Credit

Shelby Bartelt

Published 1 year ago

I wanted to share a success story! In our current market environment you often hear a negative connotation with Seller Credit so this is a perfect example of the benefit.

This first time homebuyer had seasoned assets, and a 15 year tenure in their career. They had been working on their credit (and continue to) but their fair rating was impacting their rate putting a monthly payment over their desired payment. Rather than lowering their purchase price, we were able to successfully negotiate a $13,000 credit (FHA allows for up to 6.5% of the sale price) and used it buy down their rate, saving almost $250/month in payment.

Education is key. As you can see!

"Shelby was readily available to us for quick communication and was extremely helpful and kind. As first time home buyers, there is a lot of "new" coming your way. Shelby was polite and patient in explaining everything we needed to know and answering every question we had. She never made us feel like we were a bother or our questions weren't important. She is extremely knowledgeable and a great resource! From the first meeting to our closing on our first house, Shelby was there and helpful. Don't think twice about using her as a resource for your loan!"

"As a first-time homebuyer, and a single family-member household, I couldn't have felt more educated, supported, and taken care of than I felt with Shelby. She went above and beyond (and then some) to ensure that I understood every step of the process, that I was comfortable with the numbers being discussed, and that I always knew she was just a phone call or text message away if I had any concerns or questions. Apart from the home I purchased, selecting Shelby as my lending agent was one of the best decisions I've ever made. In the future, there's no way I will ever go anywhere else."

Our financing was initially approved so early and easily that I thought something was missed, but it wasn't. We hit bumps late in the process due to other parties in our transaction, and that's when Shelby truly shined. She was as calm and determined as before, and worked with me to find a solution to get to closing. I cannot say enough good things about Shelby. Simply the best."

"In favor of being concise-- Shelby is embodies everything one should looking for in a professional, in ANY field. She is responsive, invested in her customers, and aims to foster long-term partnerships. Shelby's traits make her truly stand out as a Loan Officer. Always willing to guide, often time going out of her way to get you the answers you need when they are most needed. I can say-- blanket statement-- much of my confidence as a homebuyer came from knowledge garnered through my interactions with her. Doubt me? Pick up the phone and give her a call."

"I find mortgage refinancing very overwhelming. I initially began the process with our original mortgage company. I wasn't impressed with their offer, so I asked a realtor friend for other recommendations. She recommended Shelby to us, and I am so glad! She patiently walked me through every step of the process, explained everything to me, AND made an offer much better than my original mortgage company. I highly recommend her!"

"Shelby was an absolute dream. I had contacted a few lenders to get a refinance started. Out of the 5 I contacted, three called me back. Two of them stopped correspondence a few calls in, one told me that I probably wouldn’t qualify alone. Shelby and I connected less traditionally and I now know it was what was supposed to happen. My refinance wasn’t because I wanted it, I had to do it. I cried a few times but the support I felt from Shelby was a true blessing. Thank you Shelby and team!"
