Local Mortgage Company opens third office? In this market? Yupper!

Tonight was the official ribbon-cutting at the newest location for Hunter Mortgage.  They had a great turn out.   

Via Kara Casamassina, "Boomers and beyond...":

How is that for hope!    Yes, one of our local lenders - Hunter Mortgage, has opened a THIRD location (to better serve you) in Downtown Aiken.     The new office is at 124 Laurens Street NW next to O.L.I.V.A .

I stopped in to welcome Beverly and her team to downtown.      I mentioned to her that I guessed business must be good for her to be opening another location NOW...in this market!   She said - OH YESS....there is money to lend, and lots of different programs for buyers to take advantage of :)  They are processing all different types of loans....

This is great news to me!   Afterall -  real estate IS LOCAL.     You can't always listen to the doom and gloom of the media.   Look locally to see what is happening.  

Hunter Mortgage has been voted 'best of the best' Best Mortgage Company by the Aiken community for the past 6 years.    They can be reached, toll free,  at  877-640-3003.

 new office

Give Beverly and her team a call to see what kind of mortgage you qualify for ---and then give me a call and we can start looking for your new Aiken area property :)       Sounds like a plan to me!

 

Thanks for stopping by blog -  have a good night.
