Rescuing a Buyer

I had the opportunity to rescue a buyer who had made the mistake of choosing a large name bank for his lender. He found them to be completely unresponsive, slow, disinterested in getting his loan closed in a timely fashion. The straw that broke the camels back was when they missed his loan commitment date and made him a cash buyer on his contract. The seller was not interested in extending the loan commitment date since they had a very marketable house. We took the loan in on November 3rd and we will be closing this Friday at 1:00. On top of that we reduced his rate by .625% and did not charge him the 1% origination fee the large name bank was charging him.

Cornerstone has built its reputation on purchase business. We love doing refinances, but there is a simple fact; if there are no purchases then there will never be any refinances.

If you know anyone who has in a similar situation with a lender that is not meeting their expectations or is over charging them, please have them contact me. I promise to set realistic expectations, be fair and honest in pricing their loan and most importantly make you look good by referring the person to me.

Sincerely,

Chris

Be Kind to Everyone!

So I am in McCallister's Deli today for the first time in my life. I was there to meet a client for lunch. After we had placed our order we were walking to our table when a very nice elderly lady approached me. She was an employee there and she stopped in front of me and said "I know you, what is your name?" As I looked at her I answered her question and I could tell that she could not put the name with the face. So I asked her what her name was? As soon as she answered "Sharon Purcelli" I knew who she was and how she knew me. I commented to her that we had worked together years ago across the street at the Des Peres McDonalds. I mentioned her son John who was a few years younger than I and that I remembered her also. We had all worked there back in 1980 and 1981.
As my guest and I went to our seat he commented that I must have aged well for her to remember me. I told him I doubt that was the case and the reality of it was that I was probably just a pain in the rear back then. Not sure that much has changed over 30 years. I am definitely heavier and a little grayer, but most would agree I can still be that pain in the rear I was years ago.
As we ate our meal she came over and visited with us some more and told us what was going on in her life. I feel fortunate to know that although I was and still am somewhat rebellious I had the chance to make a lasting impression on someone that it turns out was positive.
So go out and make your lasting impressions!
