It's the "WILD WEST" out there- at Kent Real Estate Services,we're the guys with the "White Hats!".. specialized knowlege combined with years of Fortune 500 business experience, enables us to offer you a level of service much higher than the crowd. Many of our clients are multiple property owners (investors) who have been with us for many years. This is due largely to our expertise in real estate finance and investing. Real Estate Firms, mortgage brokers and lenders are disappearing, merging and in some cases failing, Not us! Why?... we know what we're doing, we do it well and we keep our clients best interest in mind at all times.
For Purchasers - I offer an easy, no-rush pace that allows you the comfort of making the right decision regarding one of the most important purchases you will ever make. Once the property is selected and your offer is made, my team and I go into "high gear" to insure correct financing and that your loan transaction moves along and "funds" on time.
For Investors - I offer specialized knowlege and information regarding investment opportunities in our beach communities, mountain resorts and other prime rental locations including Mexico. Whether you're looking for vacation rental opportunities, long term tenants or a 1031 Exchange, allow me to represent your financing interests.
For Refinancers - I enjoy direct wholesale relationships with dozens of national, regional and private banks. We originate millions of dollars in loans for these banks. This provides me the ability to offer my clients terms far more attractive than they might find on their own. We do not advertise on the radio, on billboards, etc... we don't harass you by telephone at dinnertime.... we do no marketing at all! All those ads you hear on the radio as you drive to work are expensive, guess who pays for them.... borrowers do! 100% of our clients are referred to us. We're that good! In addition: you receive continued counsel and service through out the life of your loan and/or investment.
For New Clients - During the last few years, as interest rates have fallen, and as many loan companies emerged, consumers have been bombarded with telemarketers, billboards, direct mail and radio ads. Many of these firms have gone by the wayside. Many borrowers are holding the wrong loan today. Many of these firms are (and were) "boiler room" phone bank operations ie: "Mortgage Mills". At Kent Mortgage Corporation, our approach is quite different. Twenty one years of continued operation has shown us that one-on-one personal consulting builds consumer confidence and a strong business.
In today's "buyer's market" there are still pitfalls. Properties are tangled in various states of lender (and title) issues. It's more important then ever to rely on experienced professionals to represent your interests.
For Those with Financial or Credit Challenges... I'm a good guy to know. You need accurate information. You need to know your options. There are solutions you may not be aware of. If you're currently experiencing difficulty or you've found yourself in an "exploding loan"..(high interest adjustable/ prepay penalty etc.) sold to you by one of those high advertising predatory lenders you see on TV or the Internet...let's take a look and see what can be done to get you back on track. We've helped many individuals obtain modifications of high interest loans.
In some cases it may be necessary to consider a "short sale" of your property. This requires specific qualifications and approvals from your lender. Accurate information is critical and I can help you: #1. Determine if this is a viable option #2. Help you plan your exit route. #3. Help you secure the necessary approvals from your lender. #4 Obtain the highest dollar possible for your property.
My real estate career - began in Georgia where I received my initial training in Atlanta. Upon arriving in Southern California in 1986, I specialized in So.Orange County homes, eventually expanding to beach cities, coastal properties and all of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. I can help you purchase that ranch you've always dreamed of, that ski cabin in the mountains, a retreat in the desert or that beach house on the sand. Or all three!
An active volunteer - I have served on the board of American Housing Foundation, Orangewood Children's Home, Hillview Acres and served as Director of Development for Teen Rescue-family advocates. I'm an active volunteer with Navy Marine Corps Relief Society donating one day per week for "pro bono" financial counseling to military families at Camp Pendleton. I also volunteer my time as a mentor to young adults interested in developing their lives and careers.
My experience includes - National Sales Manager of a business publishing company specializing in continuing education for the Financial Service Industries dealing with many Fortune 100 companies as well as Regional Director of a financial software company working with many Fortune 500 firms.
As a member of the team at Kent Real Estate Services, I'm held to the highest standards and best practices of the Real Estate and Mortgage Industries.
