About Scott Odell

Advice for New Home Buyers

Find a realtor that you trust. Find a lender that takes the time to prioritize questions and concerns. Advocate for yourself and your family. Don’t let anyone pressure you into making choices that you’re not comfortable with, or that you don’t understand. Buying a home is the largest financial commitment that most people make in their lives. It should be a positive experience, and the professionals working on your behalf should strive to make the experience remarkable.

Obtaining a mortgage should be a positive experience: My goal is to help our borrowers find the mortgage that’s right for them and make them as comfortable as possible with the process.
