The Challenge
A Borrower Looking for Certainty After a Costly Lending Experience
Tiziana was helping a longtime client finance the purchase of a primary residence. While the borrower had successfully financed properties in the past, their most recent transaction left them frustrated after their previous lender unexpectedly increased closing costs by $17,000 late in the process.
Additionally, this property came with a unique lot configuration, so Tiziana wanted answers upfront.
Tiziana needed a lender who could:
Deliver transparent pricing upfront
After the borrower's previous experience, avoiding unexpected fees and last-minute changes was a top priority.
Understand complex borrower and property scenarios
The file involved an experienced real estate investor and a property that required a lender comfortable with nontraditional scenarios.
Move fast to secure the opportunity
The borrower wanted to move forward with confidence and no unnecessary delays.
The Solution
A Well-Structured Loan and Clear Expectations from Day One
Tiziana connected with her Account Executive, Aaliyah Burstein, to review the file and determine the best approach.
After evaluating the scenario, Aaliyah quickly identified the right loan solution and worked to structure the transaction upfront, helping eliminate uncertainty later in the process. She also secured competitive pricing while ensuring the borrower knew exactly what to expect throughout the transaction.
With a clear strategy in place early, the loan moved smoothly through underwriting and processing.
The Result
A Fast Closing and a Positive Borrower Experience
Once submitted, the file progressed efficiently through the approval process:
Clear to Close achieved in just 9 days
The loan moved quickly from submission to approval, helping the borrower stay on schedule.
$800,000 primary residence loan successfully funded
The borrower secured financing for the purchase without the complications experienced on prior transactions.
No unexpected surprises at closing
Accurate structuring and communication upfront helped create a predictable closing experience.
