The Wait

 The driver must have been in his sixties. He was so still that his body seemed like an extension of the Auto-rickshaw itself. On the way, he gently asked “Beta, student ho ya naukari karte ho?”

Upon hearing my response, he looked at the rear view mirror. Our eyes exchanged notes. He turned his attention back to the road. “Mera graduate beta hai ghar pe. Kehta hai aap 5 saal aur Auto chalao. Uske baad wo naukari karega”. Perhaps words weren’t even needed. The eyes had given it away already, the desperate wait to retire. I had nothing to offer but prayers.

When I was introduced to Mr. Pedro ( A Loan Officer), I was entering the market as a first time home buyer.
My needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions, before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts, he was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward, I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process in a succinct yet thorough fashion. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories about the internet . I recommend A loan officer, Pedro Jerome contact email: pedroloanss@gmail.com & Whatsapp Number :+18632310632 to anyone looking for a loan in any market.
