Find a Lender & Get Pre-Approved
The First Step in the home purchase process is to get pre-approval for a home loan and begin to work with a lender. You want one that is familiar with the Charleston Real Estate Market and surrounding areas, and also that is familiar with working with Bank Foreclosures and Short Sales as well as homes that need work, new construction, etc.
As with any real estate transaction, the buyer is free to choose the lender of their choice.
However, even if you do have a lender you would prefer we at the Wertan Team recommend that you still talk to one of our lenders and compare Good Faith Estimates or GFE's to make sure you are getting the best deal possible.
The Wertan Team & RE/MAX Advanced Realty agents work with the following lenders on a regular basis and can normally get you better rates and terms. Feel free to call them and let them know you were sent by Charleston Real Estate Agents David Wertan & The Wertan Team of RE/MAX Advanced Realty or just call me directly for assistance in choosing a lender.
The type of loan you are doing will sometime determine the lender as well, so feel free to give me a call to discuss in advance as I have 26 years experience and have helped thousands of homebuyers choose the best mortgage for them. Also, some lenders have programs that will fit better for those with credit issues, debt ratios, self employed, first time homebuyers, etc.
We have a Preferred Vendor Program at RE/MAX and Our Preferred Lender is
Matt Mieras of Benchmark and he can be reached at 843-670-5512

Jerry Garner of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage 843-670-4332

Let me know if you have any questions, Sincerely, David Wertan & The Wertan Team of RE/MAX
