We could not have gotten our home closed without a LOCAL lender whom I can reach via cell phone (not some 1-800 #). We encountered unexpected delays when items came up in the inspection report, which derailed our estimated timeline. The seller was furious, demanded an impossible 3-day close (or cancel), and surprisingly, at the literal last hour before a wire cutoff time on the 3rd day, Country Club Mortgage (Kathy Thews) got the deal done. This wasn't normal so I wouldn't recommend testing them to see if it can be done again! In short, I learned a valuable lesson about the POWER of a local lender: their ability to get the job done by doing whatever it takes (talking to her company owner to expedite, calls on the weekends, etc) is invaluable.

Like many, I've seen so many advertisement of national lenders with their unheard of low rates; however, I understand that once you become qualified, the nickle and dime charges appear, the rate increases to a market standard, and the 1-800 number hold times are unwarranted. Country Club's rate was very LOW, and it stayed the same from start to finish (didn't increase). A+++ CCM team and thanks again!
