Nick Hanson, Mortgage

TRADITION MORTGAGE

Equally as important as finding the right home is finding the right lender. Between us, we Sharkeys have 50 years of experience and have known dozens of lenders in that time. We're proud to recommend Nick as our lender of choice. With his vast knowledge of mortgage products and ability to find the right fit for our clients, he is undoubtedly the best. Combined with his superb communication skills, attention to detail and follow-up, Nick and his team set the gold standard for how the mortgage process should be.

Lee Sieben, Title

Once you have the final purchase agreement, you need to make sure you can get (or give) clear title to the property. That means no liens, encumbrances, etc., that would not allow you to sell the property again. There are a number of documents that need to be created to insure a smooth closing, and that is what a title company does. Lee Sieben is our executive closer and she and her team will guide you through the closing process. She’s incredibly detailed — which helps make the closing process as easy as possible.

Joe Westerlund, Inspections

Part of the home buying process is making sure it’s safe and sound and knowing what needs to be repaired or maintained. A good inspector will make sure you’re educated about the house you’ll be calling home. We’ve recommended Joe Westerlund almost exclusively for years. His knowledge of how houses are supposed to operate combined with his non-alarmist, common sense approach helps buyers make good home-buying decisions.
