Active Rainer Jeff Belonger- Mortgage Banker- Saves The Day!


Back in November of last year we sent Lisa Schlitz, our buyers' agent a nice young couple who wanted to buy a home.
They had chosen their own lender, were approved to buy a home and so Lisa diligently researched the homes that would meet their critiria.
Lisa found them a home in no time that they really liked so they put in an offer which the seller accepted but since this was a short sale it was going to take a while longer than a normal non short sale closing.

Their lender kept telling Lisa that everything was fine with the buyers' approval and such.

Come to find out, their lender was pulling their leg. He did not even know his products because this couple was self employed and he was telling them to go stated income!
Where has he been living? Under a rock.
Finally after 2 extensions this guy decided to be honest and tell the buyers that they could not get a loan.

About the same time I had begun having an online conversation with Jeff Belonger about our state of the union. 
Jeff Belonger Mortgage Lender
We decided to ask Jeff if he could talk with the buyers and see if he could get them approved.

Jeff had them approved the very next day! I mean, really approved!


Here is what Jeff has to say about the process we went through:

"You called me up on the 4th of February, asking if I could help them out, that you needed a closing ASAP. I spoke with them on the 5th of February and took an application. I had them approved the next day in our system and we were reading to go to settlement by the 13th of February. The bank wasn’t ready, so we picked a week later, around the 23rd of February. Then the other realtor said that it had to go back to the back for approval again, because we dropped the price by like $20,000. Then we were hoping for a March settlement..middle of March. We were ready to going mid March and last minute, we had a probate issue and the attorney had to file something with the judge. Finally after waiting for 3 more weeks, with 3 closing dates, the bank came back with a full approval in mid April. We finally set a date of April 23rd, a Wednesday and it closed without a hitch. The funny thing was that I was ready to close the loan in 7 days after speaking to the borrower from day 1."

So we wanted to take this post to say THANK YOU! to Jeff Belonger for making this deal happen.

Jeff Belonger is our preferred lender and he is licensed to do loans in the state of Florida.
  We have a policy with our short sale listings that if you are getting financing and we do not have an actual approval from the buyers' lender that the buyer has to get approved through Jeff before our sellers accept their offers. They can use whoever they would like to use after that but we need to know the buyers are going to close.

We have had similar experiences with unrepresented buyers.  We make the referral.  They find someone who is totally unqualified, promises an extraordinary rate, and then can't get the loan done.  Finally, they call and ask for the referral again.  We send them back to our preferred lender.  Deal is done.  It is amazing how many times I have heard or seen this exact same story.

Katerina - That's what I like to hear... success stories that result directly from the experience and expertise of a real estate professional - in this case, you AND Jeff.  Thank goodness you reached out to him, and congratulations to Jeff for a job well done.  Thanks to you both, this buyer now has an opportunity to "live happily ever after" in his/her new home.  Yay!

Katerina - Way to go!  Having a competent mortgage person is so important. I am currently in a very similar situation, where we had to switch to a different LO. So far so good!  Had we stayed with the buyers' original choice, there would be NO CLOSING!
