Stephanie is fabulous! She always takes my calls and has patience with my many many questions, no matter how trivial. She gives me an honest opinion when I ask for it. She has years and years of experience, it shows in a good way. She has not forgotten how it is to be in the shoes of someone new to buying a home. We have her and Keith from Maxwell Progressive and they are a fantastic team. We bought our house for a good price and everything had a good flow. Supremely impressed. I won’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to anyone!
Purchase Plus Improvements
Does the home you want to purchase check all the boxes, but a few things are missing? We have the perfect program to assist you. Purchase plus improvements have become extremely popular with home buyers.
We can add to your purchase price up to 10% or $40,000 dollars of extra dollars to accommodate your upgrades.
How our lenders put this together:

- You will tell us exactly what improvements you wish to complete
- We will add these dollars to your new mortgage
- We will have the lawyer hold these dollars in trust for you
- Once the work is complete an appraiser will come out and confirm completed
- Your lawyer will refund you the dollars held in your trust
A few questions:
