I have known Lance Peterson for 26 years now. It was about then he bought Sterling Services, the young lad he was. Now he has a track record of all landscaping services: has maintained numerous condo projects, Bellevue and Newcastle Parks and Street Landscaping, has made his own home an example, and blows your mind watching how hard he pushes a Bobcat. It is nice to have Lance and crew as members of the Undressed Consumer Network with their new blog - YardsRUndressed.com.

To date, I have not played up our mortgage experience on our blogs. We have focused on the Undressed blog network and our real estate practice. Kathleen and I owned Homes And Loans, a Washington State Licensed mortgage brokerage. We closed Homes And Loans, the mortgage company, last night - better said we are becoming a branch of Loan Network.
Whereby we once had over 100 loan officers and had months of more than 400 loan sales, we downsized to a few of our most skilled. Managing 100 loan officers is a major effort. Our intention was to stay small.
The current environment for mortgage companies is difficult. The oversight needed to meet the ever changing factors is, in my opinion, too much for a small company. We interviewed three large companies and even considered closing down. Loan Network, one of the States largest mortgage brokers we feel is a great solution.
We move forward with the power of a large mortgage bank and the mind set of being the best solution for the consumer.
I have worked for two banks as a loan officer, Mellon and Guarantee Bank of Milwaukee. They have great oversite but banks do not always have the best loan officers and the best products. Banks aren’t known for having the best rates. Banks are often not your best solution. As the title of this post says, I invite you to let us help you with your mortgage needs. Our little company, becoming a branch has all the current products the market has to offer, that includes FHA loans,
