Today’s active adults have lived through and have seen a lot of changes in their time.   And during this “pause” many have realized that now, more than ever,  they want to move forward to settling into a new home that will age with them and a community that will embrace their lifestyle.

And the positive news is that with today’s unbelievable mortgage rates and Cornerstone’s unique Concierge Program that works with the best Lenders in the industry, makes this decision a very smart and easy one! 

At our recent FaceBook Live Tuesdays at Two interview, we talked with Greg Cowart at NFM Lending, one of Cornerstone’s Preferred Lenders, to learn more about what you need to know about purchasing in today’s environment. 

Greg, a JMU Graduate, former teacher and school counselor,  has over 18 years in the mortgage field.  Needless to say he’s a good listener and communicator, which are two important skills in guiding our buyers through the building and mortgage process.  Recently, one of Greg’s customers told him, “Everything I was worried about – none of it happened.”   Greg attributes this to his team’s philosophy.  Staying in constant communication with his customers, obtaining good data, educating them in all options available, helping to find the best fit, and guiding them through selling, buying, and the construction process.

Other great news is that the entire mortgage process is very close to doing the entire transaction on line, except for non-cash buyers who borrow money, their hand signature is still required.  Greg and his team are not surprised that Cornerstone sales are still strong. People need these homes that are more conducive to their lifestyle for the next 10 – 25 years. 

Greg’s advice to active adults who want to get rid of that big house and yard – take that first step! Call and meet with a Cornerstone Sales team member so they can connect with our team of Concierge Lenders to confirm what you can afford. No charge, no obligation. With their help, along with other team members of Cornerstone’s Concierge Program - Realtors, stagers, and movers, this will become the smartest and easiest move of your life.
