My wife and I have been working towards buying our own home for the past 12 years. I had previously worked in Real Estate as a loan officer, and my wife worked for a Mortgage Bank owned by a family friend as a receptionist. Based on the advice given to us by our family friend, we thought we were not ready to purchase a new home. One day, Scott Edwards, knowing that we really wanted to buy a home, asked if he could at least take a look at our situation and let us know where we stood and give us some advice on how to get to where we wanted to be as quickly as possible. Come to find out, not only did we qualify for a home loan, but we qualified for a couple of different programs. We decided to go with Scott the Mortgage Doc despite having solid Real Estate connections. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made! Not only was Scott one of the most knowledgeable loan officers I have ever worked with, but he went above and beyond to ensure the success of our transaction; taking calls all hours of the night, regularly contacting all parties involved to ensure clear communication, making personal sacrifices to guarantee that our family got exactly what we needed. Just as an example, we had the unfortunate experience of being 3 weeks away from closing on the first home we had selected. The sellers pulled out right before removing all contingencies. My wife and I were devastated! We had already put in notices at work and for moving out of our rental, etc. Scott called me on a personal level and told me, "you need to shake it off, look at this as a business transaction and go out there and find your family the 'right' home." The very next day we went out and found the PERFECT home! But now we only had 3 weeks till we needed to close. Keep in mind, that I have a friend that owns his own Mortgage bank for the past 30 years who told me that it could never be done. Not only did Scott the Mortgage doc make it happen, he was able to do it a day early! 3 weeks to close a loan! None of the Real Estate agents, Escrow Officers, or anyone involved could believe it! Consider this post a 100% full endorsement of Scott Edwards! I will never go to another Loan Officer again. It is rare to find someone that takes personal pride in his work, it is even more rare to find someone in finance that is honest and trustworthy, it is almost unheard of to find someone that becomes personally invested in the success of their clients; Scott Edwards is THAT man! Thank you Scott for helping my family's dreams come true! We will forever be grateful to you and your team at Skyline! You are amazing and we are blessed to have had you on our team. read more
