The Wonderful World of Wendy


Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!

Take a moment for a year-end review of your mortgage health!

My personal life – my fun life! – is such a big part of what I talk about that you may or may not know that in my day-to-day life I perform marketing for several loan officers at Eagle Home Mortgage. I primarily work for one, Ted Buchanan – who for without his financial genius and mortgage savvy Stephen and I would not have become home owners four years ago this last October.

I am such a strong believer in Ted’s abilities that I chose to go to work for him nearly two years ago. I get to do my favorite thing of all – write a newsletter. But I also spend a lot of time on the phone helping clients sort through their paperwork and getting their documentation in order so they can put their best financial foot forward.

Ted made a deal with me when I started with him – he’d cough up part of his company commission to me for every referral I brought him. That hasn’t turned into as many as I had hoped it would, but I think that’s because I am just not doing a very good job educating my friends and associates about the power of referral and how it would really benefit me and my ability to pay my own bills if people would work with us on their mortgage.

Keep in mind also it’s not the mortgage company you work with but the individual loan officer that is going to make your transaction flow smoothly and be in alignment with your financial needs and future goals. Ted Buchanan has been doing loans for almost 15 years and knows what he’s doing – not to mention, he’s a pretty darn nice guy.

Please take a moment now – and always – to keep your radar up among the people you know. If someone mentions they want to buy a house, or their ARM is starting to look scary and they want to get into a fixed rate mortgage or otherwise refinance – RATES ARE STILL HISTORICALLY EXCELLENT. Please send them my way and I will arrange a phone consultation with them and Ted so they can determine if they are all a good fit to work together.

Ted can meet or beat almost any written estimate – we are mortgage brokers after all and have access to almost every program imaginable. You would be doing your friend or family member a favor by giving them another lender to compare rates with.

Please call me – or have your friend or family member call me – and I will arrange something convenient so all of the parties can connect by phone. Almost everything is done by fax and email so they won’t even have to go into the office to meet with him (unless they want to)! I send out several loan servicing updates via email to all parties involved throughout the process so you always know where you stand.

Thanks for your time – and your thoughts – and your referrals!
