After the Close Matters to Builders and Realtors - Testimonial

Although Southeast Mortgage, SEM, is known for its fast and great service, client testimonials reinforce why it takes a TEAM or "VILLAGE" to create a bond with clients.  The client below was from Crown Communities.  What separates one lender from another is not just closing the loan - its how the client feels about you and your referral partners after the close.  This organic growth is SEM's greatest asset and the added value our Builders and Realtors enjoy working with our TEAM.
 
Take a minute and read the email below from Kim to me related to Mr. White. Note Mr. White's final comment - client referrals recession proof businesses and create organic growth for Realtors and Builders.  That is true reciprocal value that only a TEAM and Great Service can deliver and what has driven SEM since 1993.

… Team,

I couldn’t resist not sharing this unsolicited email – this borrower put some time and thought into his acknowledgement and it’s a beautiful example of teamwork

The Thank YOU note is truly intended for ALL – because it took a village / team to make it happen …Cal, this is your AWESOMENESS in action!

Kim,

Goooood Afternoon Kim,

 A couple things I want to mention and express my sincerest gratitude for the outstanding work you orchestrated getting us in our "NEW HOME".... You are a Master of what you do and 2nd to none in my humble opinion working as hard as you did and making the process unbelievable easy and less stressful... Starting with your support staff, I was sooooo impressed how they held my hand, walk me through or explained to me exactly what was needed from me or when I needed to have certain things done...
 
Starting with Jamie, her mannerism, the easy way she spoke and the clarity made it easy for me to "just do what was required" because I understood and didn't have to ask a bunch of needless questions even though she was absolutely clear about me "Asking questions or wanting an explanation" if I was uncertain at anytime.... When Jamie finished with me and I was "handed off" to Jessica, I felt like I've know her forever... Jessica is absolutely brilliant and showed real leadership when we hand that issue with "Fre"... She was available to me any time of day or night, e-mailing and or texting me and responding almost immediately when I had questions or wanted an update.... And then there was Edward ... When I got to him, that's when I knew it was his responsibility to make certain all "i's" are dotted and all "t's" are crossed... Edward was like a tagged team partner... Instead of wasting needless time on the phone, he had me talk directly to the contacts I needed to provide information to.... Although I thanked each person I mentioned individually, can you PLEASE thanked them again and let them know how great I "know" them to be a I really appreciate the super super job they did for us.... I remember as if was yesterday when Sherry Bivins wouldn't let me leave her property because she was certain about one thing and that was instead of waiting 6 months , (my timeline} convince me the time was "right" right now and just give her a chance... Sherry called you and that's how it all began.... I'm sorry I didn't get the opportunity to meet you in person, because I was soooo looking forward to meeting you especially because of the admiration and total respect I have for you and the fantastic way you communicate  every thing I need to know... I will recommend you, the company you represent to my friends that's looking to purchase a home.... Once again Kim, BIG UPS TO YOU AND YOUR SUPPORT STAFF FOR AN EXCELLENT JOB WELL DONE!!!!!

Respectfully,

Jimmy White

Why aligning Operations with our Builders Matters! Read The Testimonial

Below is an email from Sam to Jeff.  Sam was gracious to allow us to share his experience with the public.  Those who have not experienced the Southeast Mortgage Experience can read an industry veteran's perspective on Southeast Mortgage Service.  Southeast Mortgage was built one client and one relationship at a time focusing on a great experience that creates added value for our Originators, Clients, and Referral Partners.  If we close your client's loan fast, accurately, and on time; that client refers their friends and family to you.

Jeff,

I am thrilled to be writing you this letter of appreciation for yet another job well done.  Your most recent success is our latest closing at Liberty Crossing.  Once again when our Acadia preferred lender was unable to provide financing for our buyer, your outstanding team stepped up and found a solution for our buyer and we are closing early next week!!

Over the past couple of years, you and your staff have really helped Acadia out by providing Us with great solutions in financing for countless Acadia customers.  Jeff, you have a tremendous staff and they really perform what they say they can do when working with our customers.  Your team makes it easy for us to know where to send our customers to get their financing done when our lender is unable to help them.  Thank you Jeff, and the entire Southeast Mortgage Team!!!. Awesome job!

Sincerely,

Sam Bass

I had to share this email. This is why we have been around for so many years.

I wrote an article a few days ago about Money vs. Passion.  The email below answers the question.  I get these emails from time to time and they truly warm my heart not just for me but knowing the great team that makes SEM what it gets the recognition they so deserve.  In the market you hear a few names but reality is the 40+ operations people at SEM Club Drive and their support make SEM what it is and provides the fantastic dependable closings that drive our organic growth.

Below is an actual email from Kim Arrington to Jeff and JD.  Kim is well known in the Atlanta mortgage industry and has worked at Large Banks, Correspondents, and other variations of Lenders.  Kim's background is what makes her statements moving to me since she fully understands what most MLOs at other company's experience and can make an expert comparison.

Our operations team and MLOs work hard to earn client's and when our MLO team realizes how it comes together with all facets of the team harmonizing, I get a beaming sense of pride for the people I have worked with for so many years.  Better than a big check because the memory and relationships last longer.

Jeff and JD,

… I am not being corny or smoozy … though I can be!   Truth is, it does make me cry and smile at the same time, but I have not found this much favor with clients before ???

I am working from that same place of wanting to give excellence and here at Southeast I find many more “gratitude moments”.  People love us and I am so very thankful.

I know you invested from day 1 - you did not have to share Lynne with me, but you did and I could not have achieved what I have to date without her smarts and ambition. Thank you!

JD, we spent many calls on whether to come over or not and at the end of the day, people feel like home here!  I am not doing half the advertising I’ve done in the past and then look again, an agent lovin’ our process, lovin’ our email notifications that I forward… It gives such an authentic sense of status that they know it’s not fluff… it’s date stamped... it’s great!  And so with that, I got this agent emailing “I want to refer you“ … Thank you and Jeff, ya’ll did not give up.

So, even when I am in the Diva drama mode over that dern QC timing,  know my heart - I am really happy that you offered me an opportunity to join the team.

… love ya’ll

Kim

Sincerely,

Testimonial - CRM works 24 / 7 keeping MLOs in front of Clients - Another example how SEM helps MLOs get more loans

Email 8/12/2014

Cal,   I want to share with you that our CRM is working.   I closed the (omitted) loan 3 years ago and Steve (omitted) received a birthday card from me recently ( thanks to the CRM team ).   I have had no contact with him since their closing and he and his wife are now buying a lake house.   He called me yesterday and said because he received the b-day card  he remembered me and what a great job Southeast did on their refinance 3 years ago.   Long story short is he is bringing his docs to me today for a 250k lake house loan.  

Thank you Cal for providing this great service.

Sincerely,

John Young
