Mike & Mike Lending Forward in Charlotte

Some homebuyers don’t know they have options when shopping for a mortgage.  You may think that your bank, whom you’ve been with for years, is the only option.  But what you may not realize is that mortgage banking is probably not a priority for them.  At Atlantic Bay, our mortgage bankers are all highly specialized and educated ‘insiders’ in the homebuying industry, and your mortgage is their number one priority.

My guests today are Mike Ray and Mike Woodard, both Mortgage Bankers from our Atlantic Bay family.  We’re going to discuss all the ways that Atlantic Bay Mortgage can provide homebuyers a distinct advantage in the lending process.  From the personal relationships with team members (processors, closers, and underwriters) to specialized knowledge of the industry, Atlantic Bay mortgage bankers offer quite a few advantages over the big banks.

Lending Forward is a weekly podcast hosted by Taylor Ellard and powered by Atlantic Bay Mortgage Group.  We bring you raw stories from real people in the mortgage industry. We're covering what's next in lending, forward-thinking, and reflecting on lessons learned from Mortgage Bankers, Realtors, Financial Advisors, Coaches, and more! How are you lending it forward?
