Lend(er) us a hand
Wednesday, April 11, 2007

Yesterday, Joen and I met up with Tahnee Markussen of First National Bank. We met her at the free home buyer's seminar and we immediately liked her. She was this sweet but thorough mortgage loan representative who gave us personal attention even then. Last night, we had a light dinner at Panera and she was able to give us a good faith estimate very comparable to Randy's. Joen asked Randy if he could come up with a rate to compare with Tahnee and he did. So Joen went to his office where Randy just handed him a piece of paper and walked right back to his office. Tahnee gave us her BEST faith estimate just earlier today and right away, we wanted to lock it in. We feel very comfortable with her because she really takes the time to explain each and every detail and is never in a rush to get things going.

Now that we've chosen the lender, it's one task down. We're assured Tahnee would be very helpful even after this deal is over. She's just that kind of loan officer-- you know, who goes that extra mile.
