From Snowbird to Full-Time Resident: Jim’s Story
Posted on Jul 20, 2024
When Jim started snowbirding in Arizona, he bought a small townhome. Only a few years later, he decided to make the move permanently. That’s when he realized that living full-time in a townhome wouldn’t cut it. With his life’s possessions and visits from family and friends, he would need something a little bigger.
Looking at homes, Jim noticed that the real estate market in Arizona was a little different than what he’d known his whole life. For one, no one would even look at his offers because they were contingent on the sale of his prior home. But he did not have the cash to make an offer without a contingency. That’s when his Real Estate Agent gave him the number to call Notre Dame Federal Credit Union.
The Mortgage Team helped Jim get into his dream home by leveraging funds from a Home Equity Line-Of-Credit to buy his new home before his old home sold. After a month or two, Jim was able to utilize the funds from the sale of his old home to pay off his HELOC.
And that’s why Notre Dame FCU has been named Best Mortgage Lender for 5 consecutive years.
