A lending specialist can arrange mortgage pre-approval and help you
determine what type of mortgage best suits your needs. And they offer
something even more valuable — expert advice and guidance.
"There are a lot of open and honest conversations. That's what I find is
really important — we're trying to make sure that the real, full picture
is understood," says Steinbach Credit Union's April Nurse, manager of
consumer lending at the Lindenwood Branch.
Nurse says SCU specialists have a lot
of experience with builder mortgages,
contracts and schedules. They've
developed strong working relationships
with builders and they understand
how each one has different needs and
processes. It's insider knowledge that you
can rely on at every step of the build.
She says working with members is all about
building strong relationships, too. While
securing a mortgage might be your only
concern right now, lending specialists take
a big-picture view of your financial needs
and look at building your personal net
worth. They may refer you to professional
guidance on establishing savings and
retirement funds within SCU's wealth
management team.
