Episode Details

Steven and Ashley discuss the advantages of working with a local lender when buying a house. They define a local lender as someone who offers face-to-face interactions, understands the local area, and provides personalized advice. They compare this with online lenders and big box banks, which may lack local knowledge and personal connections. The benefits of a local lender include access to local programs and grants, lower closing costs, and a better grasp of the local market.
