So the loan has its clear to close and so many people involved with the transaction think the job is done and I know it is not however sometime I think it is :)

I have first-hand confirmation that attorneys are not the easiest people to work with nor are their gate keepers.  Even when we are on cruise control from time to time there is a last-minute change – this is not pressure, this is STRESS however everyday this is what the closer does.

I am thankful for every Benchmark closer…they have a very hard job to push and pull the loan across the finish line.   Here is what is crazy…not one closer is better than another closer – everyone the works on my files is a true professional with a servant heart to make things happen!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE OF OUR CLOSERS – I am thankful for what you do every day during normal business hours and for the extra effort after business hours too.
