Mortgage Update 5/20/2010
The tax credit may be gone but mortgage rates in Ephrata, Lancaster and beyond are phenomenal! Conventional and Government rates are 5.00 or less. 15 year terms are 4.5 or less. 5 Year ARM’s are 4.00 or less!
At Cole Taylor Mortgage, a division of Cole Taylor Bank we are cranking out loans in record time. In Ephrata, yours truly Brian Weems Williams will gladly assist you in the purchase or refinance of your home. In Lancaster and elsewhere, reach out to me, Doris Good, Lesley Kuffel, Wayne Angelo or Mike Lafferty for a consultation.
As always, I’m a phone call away at 468-0130, or e-mail at broweems@ptd.net.
4 Months Later
Holy Moly, it’s been 4 months since I posted anything! There’s been a lot going on.
On the mortgage side, those of us at Beacon flirted with transitioning to mortgage bankers at the end of 2009. We didn’t make the jump for many reasons…until the end of March. We are now Cole Taylor Mortgage, a division of Cole Taylor Bank. Cole Taylor Bank is based in Chicago, and has been around for 80 years. The mortgage division is new, though spearheaded by industry legends from the legendary ABN-AMRO mortgage group.
We are the first retail branch in Pennsylvania for Cole Taylor Mortgage! While there may be a learning curve with systems and processes, the end result is already phenomenal. Local processing and in-house underwriting means quicker decisions on files and shortens the cycle to get a loan closed. Local appraisers. Excellent rates. It’s made things fun again!
On other topics, I have been on QVC a few times selling the world’s best hose products, those made in Oregon by Water Right.
I am once again coaching Kate’s Ephrata U12 Girls Rec soccer team. Got trounced in week 1, but every other game has been close, with 1 win and 1 tie to go with 3 losses.
