Which of the following makes you extremely uneasy or anxious?

A) Speaking in public.

B) Being in a high place.

C) Flying in an airplane.

D) Being around snakes,

E) Being in a confined space,

F) Going through the mortgage loan process.

A recent survey conducted by Chicago lender Guaranteed Rate found that a lot of people are more comfortable with public speaking, heights, flying, snakes and confined spaces than they are with tackling the mortgage loan process.

Granted, over half of the 1,000 home buyers polled found the financing experience easy to do, but the rest of those surveyed said they’d rather do almost anything else rather than go through the lending process, including:

• Gain 10 pounds (25%).
• Spend 24 hours with someone they dislike (12.5%).
• Have a root canal (7%).
• Spend a night in prison (7%).

While this survey may seem rather comical, it just goes to show how anxious some people can become when obtaining financing for their home, gathering the necessary paperwork, and – finally – signing all of the documents at closing.

“I had the pleasure of being referred to Grandview Lending for my home purchase in Indiana. I am a physician moving from out of state, and needless to say, it was a very stressful time for me. But the staff at Grandview Lending, including Michael Farrell, Faye Fitzgerald and Co., were able to get my loan approved in what my agent told me was record time. They were very professional, responded to all communications in a timely fashion, worked late and gave me a variety of options to choose from. I cannot recommend them enough.” – V. Spyropoulos, DPM 

“First, Amy and I would like to say ‘THANK YOU’ for your assistance in working with us to secure a mortgage refinance. Your timely and prompt communication and assistance was invaluable in helping us to secure a refinance and lower our mortgage payment. Our situation was complex and certainly not a simple straightforward situation. You (loan officer Tim Ayers) and the staff at Grandview Lending are to be complimented on your service and professional assistance… After having been through a number of home purchases and refinancing experiences, I can honestly say that this was without a doubt the most pleasant and reassuring experience ever.” – Mike and Amy Lombard
