About Scott Hoag
About Scott Hoag
PEOPLE NEED A LENDER THEY CAN TRUST AND DEPEND ON
If you are looking for a Mortgage expert for St Petersburg, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, Seminole, Largo, Dunedin, Gulfport and Gulf Beaches. That is what we want to convince you we are. Trustworthy because we don't play any games or purposely mislead people just to try and get a borrower "in the door". We truly pride ourselves on honest and accurate information which is why we don't quote rates. We just don't do it. Any rate quoted to you by anyone before they have processed your application is just a guess. We want you to know exactly what your rate will be. The truth is you can call almost any lender in the nation and say, what are your rates? And they will reply, "We have rates as low as 1%."
Dependable is what happens after that first call. Dependable means if we say we're going to work - we are going to work. If we encounter a bump that needs to be handled we let you know immediately. For example we currently have a borrower who applied for a loan with a lender in California. The borrower has supplied everything the lender needs and paid $400 for an appraisal. They applied 40 days ago for a HELOC. The lender has postponed the closing three times. We told the borrower why: They can't do the loan and they are shopping it to other lenders trying to broker it out. IT NO LONGER EXISTS.
We got their application on Tuesday, Appraisal on Wednesday and can close on Friday.

AGENTS
Understanding what it means to be able to deliver is what separates Gulf & Southern from the "lender jungle". Like you we don't get paid until the deal closes - so, if it can be closed Gulf & Southern Mortgage can close it. You give us one shot at beating your in-house broker and you'll be amazed. There's a reason professional investors, mortgage brokers and builders trust Gulf & Southern Mortgage with ALL of their deals - we get it done!

You will have a primary contact point who is available to address your questions and liaison with you on every client.
Our back office team is second to none. We have some of the best processors in the country. Their professionalism and knowledge of the Underwriting guidelines are unmatched by other companies that fumble through your loan by asking you to bring them everything in your file cabinet for them. We do QC, Processing and Underwriting IN HOUSE on most of our deals. We are busy, however, as we are number one in our market niche. But we want you and want to help you increase your pay. We offer several seminars for your clients every year and provide continuing training to you as an agent on what's happening in the mortgage industry.

Testimonials
Dear Mr. Hoag,
I needed to take a few more minutes of your time to discuss with you the Home Loan that you worked on for my wife and I.
First, we shopped around to find the best mortgage company to handle our specific needs and the special conditions of our loan. After literally months of searching and agreeing which company to go with, we bit the proverbial bullet and began the home loan process.
It seemed as if our loan were cursed from the onset. We had nothing but poor guidance, unreturned phone calls, missed mortgage rates, and countless nights of fit ridden sleep.
Our mortgage officer had duped us into believing that he was taking care of us, when in fact he was simply arranging a payday for himself.
That is when you and your team came into the picture. I gave you a call.
It is a call that my wife and I will never forget. Your teams professionalism, and personal charisma effected an immediate change of mortgage companies. Your team handled all of our questions with a degree of aptitude seldom seen in today's market. You and your team at Gulf & Southern Mortgage hurdled the legal issues surrounding our home loan and its intricacies with agility and grace. My wife and I could not possibly be more pleased with the entire process than what we were, or so we thought.
Scott,
THANK YOU! You and your team made our entire experience absolutely wonderful. You have our best wishes in all of your future endeavors. You have us and all who ask us as clients for life. Finally, you have our promise of friendship.
Sincerely,
J Meyer

My daughters and I are so excited about owning our own home. I have worked at the Masonic Home as a hairdresser for 8 years now and do not have the ability to pay an outrageous mortgage payment. We came to you through the recommendation of our Re/Max agent Norene Williams and we couldn't be happier she did.
You were able to secure a grant of $15,000 that we could use toward our down payment, and the seller paid almost all of our closing costs, which allowed me to keep some money in the bank in case we need it.
Even after the loan was closed and you didn't have to do anything, you helped us fix some repairs we found after moving in.
Thank you, Scott!! We will be sure to send anyone we hear about that's buying a home to you!!
