Ted Arnold
October 11th, 2011
Ted Arnold, one of our preferred real estate agents in the Tri-Cities area, has moved from REMax to Windermere and is expecting this to be a better opportunity to focus on his VA business overall. As a Veteran himself, he has been a great asset to us, as he has a vast knowledge assisting Veterans with their real estate needs.

The Greenwald Team email
October 1st, 2011
One benefit of adding an email for the team is that everyone in the team gets the message and it will help the overall flow of communication in the office. The new email name is: TheGreenwaldTeam@Creeksidem.com which will enable distribution to everyone. Employees associated with title companies, real estate agents, and borrowers can use this email, and this way everyone will get the message and it will be dispersed properly. Ultimately it would prevent tasks from being delayed so the response will happen instantaneously.

Creekside Mortgage New VA Logo “NW #1 VA Home Loan Experts”
July 18th, 2011
We changed our logo representing the fact that we are the number NW #1 VA Home Loan Experts. We really want to change our motto towards that, due to the fact that 90% of what we do now is just VA in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. We can do all types of loan options, but VA seems to be the major factor of what Creekside Mortgage has been doing. The majority of employees that work at Creekside Mortgage are prior service, or either had parents in the service or family members who are Veterans. Our pride in continuing to specialize in VA will definitely be something we carry into the future.

Chelsey Howard the New Member of the Greenwald Team
July 15th, 2011
We have a new team member today on The Greenwald Team to help facilitate VA transactions and make the process smoother. Jenn Stanford and I will continue to do more of the front-end production and setting the files up. Chelsey Howard will do more of the coordinating, making sure appraisals are ordered, and help overall with closing transactions quicker. Our main focus is to stand by our advertised 25-day close, which is almost twice as fast as anyone in the industry on a VA transaction. This makes the consumer Veteran happy, the banks happy, the title company happy, and the real estate agents happy. We welcome Chelsey Howard to the team and look forward to many years together!

Dodd-Frank Bill and the Mortgage Industry 3 Months in
July 1st, 2011
It has now been over three months since the Dodd Frank Bill was enacted, affecting the mortgage industry as a whole. The take on it from industry professionals is that it has made business much, much more difficult due to requirements to meet the regulations. Many more man-hours are required just to comply with them. Now that we have seen the full effect of the bill,it is clear it has affected two groups and two groups only-individual loan officers who facilitate the transactions, and the consumers themselves. From what we have noticed, interest rates about a quarter different in the negative, with a higher rate for the burrower. The loan officer is making about 15-20% less. The companies and banks that the bill targeted have not felt the effect—the expenses just been passed to the consumer.

Pasco WA and the Tri-Cities WA
June 26th, 2011
Tri-Cities WA continues to stay hot. We have had quite a few calls from the Pasco WA area. Tri-Cities has a high number of Veterans concentrated there due to the conservative nature of the area. It is nice to be able to answer people’s questions and give them guidance when a lot of people don’t know or fully understand how the VA process works.

Tri-Cities Still Ranked Number 1 in the State of Washington 2011
April 22nd, 2011
Kennewick WA, Pasco WA, and Richland WA, still rank at the lowest level in the State of Washington for foreclosures in March, which is a good sign of showing our consistency and stability in values in Tri Cities Washington. Our markets held steady and in most cases even increased in values. The number of VA home loan purchases in Tri Cities has shown great strength. VA ranks the lowest in the county for foreclosures. VA home loans are one of the best options for a Veterans, as it offers 100% financing, with $0 down payment, and the seller typically pays, in most cases, all closing costs. We have seen a high trend in buying new construction in the Tri Cities WA, especially in Kennewick WA. Former apple orchards are now becoming large developments, in large volume. This trend should continue in Tri Cities Washington over the rest of 2011 and we should remain strong in home values and economic factors in Tri-Cities WA.

Testimonials
"We just purchased a home and we got our VA loan through Kevin Lawson at Creekside Mortgage. We came to Creekside Mortgage because they catered to military Veterans and specialized in VA loans. Kevin's knowledge and professionalism were reinforced from the beginning of our relationship.
There were a few items that needed to be addressed concerning my credit. With Kevin's gentle pushing and support, we were able to raise my credit score sufficiently to qualify for the loan.
Most importantly, Kevin was always there for us. On more than one occasion, I called Kevin after business hours and he gave us patient, accurate advice and peace of mind. I recommend Kevin to all prospective homebuyers. As a Veteran of the United States Army, I would recognize the insincerity of anyone using his military past to advance his career, but with Kevin I never felt this way. His prior military service provides a credible voice to Veterans during an often challenging and significant step in their lives; it was in mine."
