My title rep drove 106 miles to sign my client's Home Loan...Thank You Tia Lumsden of Ticor Title in Tacoma! :)

     I am so thankful.... I didn't even have to beg...too much:) She was happy to do it for me andTicor Title Tia Lumsden Tacoma University Place

 didn't charge me a dime extra, so I figure I owe her a good public shout out for going above and beyond. If you know the Seattle-Puget Sound Area at all, just look at the map on the right and you know that is a HAUL! Aside from when I had docs sent to Iraq, I think this is the farthest I have known someone to drive to sign a client.

     it wasn't a big money loan, just a little $125,000 refinance, heck I think I grossed $600 on it, but it ended up to be so much more for me thanks to her hard work.

     You see the loan we were paying off was an owner-financed home loan from the previous owner of the property. He provided the financing to my client to make it easier for her to qualify for the house initially, but now he needed the money to finish construction on a $2.5 million dollar home he was building. Apparently he likes to do things such as buy land and build stuff, and preferred using home loans to do so. He also owned a Windermere office and was previously a founder and board member of a regional depository bank. Needless to say, he was very happy to get the loan proceeds from this loan to finish his construction project, which he was needing to have refinanced in the very near future....AND... wanted me to provide the loan:)

Thanks again to Tia Lumsden of Ticor Title in Tacoma (University Place). Without your hard work this would not have been possible. If you need title and escrow services in the Puget Sound area, how could I not recommend her? She can be reached at 253-278-0217 or ActiveRain.com/TiaLumsden.

P.S. FYI.... the area where my client's home was located does qualify for the $0 Down USDA Mortgage. And Gig Harbor just across the Narrows Bridge From Ticor Title Tacoma office right on HWY 16, qualifies for 100% Financing as well. But I'll tell you about that later :)

@Mike--Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate that:) To make a long story short, there were some issues on the file and I didn't want to pay for or charge for another lock extention, because I was bascially doing it for free as-is. When I asked her, I think I was kind of laughing at myself for even asking, and when she said 'no problem', I was a shocked...and happy :)

@Reba--Howdy Neighbor! :) Over the years, I've had great service moments with a lot of the title companies and reps in our area, after hour stuff, or weekend stuff, etc, but I can't think of any reps who drove this far for a signing!

@Adrian--Hey local fella, thanks for commenting :)

Yeah she drove crazy far for me..I even repeated the question twice and said it slowly so she knew what she was getting herself into! :)

Do you know Surinder Khlea? He works at Danforth too, mostly the commercial listings end with Dan and Bob. He has done a lot of appraisals for me as he owns WCVS as well. Meeting up with him in Woodinville on Monday to set up the my co-market stuff on his listings.

Oh yeah, I planted my veggie garden already....trying ot be 'green' like you :)
