OVERVIEW
Key Takeaways
Our office is in Marietta, but our clients are everywhere the metro reaches — and in twelve more states beyond Georgia. Most of our clients never need to visit an office: the first conversation happens by phone, documents move through our secure portal, and closings happen where you are. What doesnu2019t change with distance: you talk to the same team every time, you see six rate options instead of one, and you get a pre-underwritten approval that sellers and agents take seriously.
LICENSED STATES
Licensed in 13 states
Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Virginia, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Colorado, Kentucky, and Washington, DC. Moving across state lines? If both ends are on that list, one team can handle the whole move.
