Ryan Kelley, the President and Founder of The Home Loan Expert LLC, announced today the preferred lender relationship with EXIT Realty Southeast and Florida which goes live officially on November 1, 2019.
This new relationship unites nearly 3500 EXIT Realtors to one of the most cutting edge and reliable mortgage platforms in the business said Kelley. The launch of this partnership all but ensures The Home Loan Experts’ spot as one of the nation’s fastest growing mortgage banking operations.EXIT Realty Southeast/Florida is one of the fastest growing Real Estate companies in the nation with operations in Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and the upcoming addition of Florida said Kenny Lynn, EXIT Southeast Regional Owner.“We are adding new offices weekly. We are currently looking to expand our operations into other states," said Kenny. “There are more options than ever for people to choose from when buying or selling a home. We want to make sure we are number one on that list and we will be.”What was once an industry primarily dominated by a few large companies, the real estate market has drastically changed. Technology has revolutionized the industry and made way for start-ups and others to enter the real estate space said Stacy Strobl, EXIT Southeast Regional Owner.“Homebuyers needs and wants have changed over the years. They are more educated on the process and 65% have already started the home search on-line before contacting a Realtor,” said Strobl. “Our agents and clients expect the best and that’s what this partnership gives them. We now have a lending partner that delivers a streamlined digital mortgage process, top tier marketing support and customer service that no other lender provides. It’s a perfect match. We know what our agents want, and we are going to give it to them. They deserve it!”Kelley said the partnership will bring so many benefits for EXIT Southeast/Florida franchise owners, brokers and agent.“It’s an honor to work with EXIT Realty. They are a top-notch organization. I’ve spent the last several months meeting with their team and I was blown away. You can tell they are a company built on integrity and customer service. Those are the cornerstones of my business as well. We are just far ahead of the game in terms of marketing, technology and lead generation. I am excited to show them how much we bring to the table.”
