To begin, my husband and I went into the home buying process with nothing but a goal, a meager savings account, and some ambition. We had no knowledge of the loan approval process or what it would take to actually land a house. I did some research about the teacher next door program and I was immediately booked with Peter. During our first phone call he was patient and extremely knowledgable about the home buying process and he took his time asking all the necessary preliminary questions to create a profile that fits our family. With a volatile housing market Peter was honest and clear about what we should expect. The first few months proved to be rough but Peter was always available to guide us with numbers that fit our projected budget. When it was time to renew our approval Peter celebrated our improved credit scores and quickly updated our loan status. This allowed us to broaden our home options and it was just what we needed to be able to find a house and get our offer accepted. Peter was extremely efficient in the closing process and kept us informed through any and every change. As the loan approval progressed we were given weekly updates about documents needed, changes in market interest rates, and overall loan status. We were also given tips about how to move the process along smoothly. When talking to Peter you could feel the sincerity in his voice and you just knew you were speaking with someone who loved their job. Peter is someone who will commiserate during failures but also share in your joys as if he were next to you rather than hours away in a different state. I do not think we would have been able to navigate this process without the help of our realtor and Mr. Peter Beno. Thank you!!!
