BOOK OF EXPERTS: The Southern Bank – modern banking with a Southern accent

Personalized Financial Solutions 

At The Southern Bank, we deliver personalized financial solutions catering to each customer’s unique goals. One success story exemplifying our exceptional service is the closing of a customer’s dream home.

A couple, first-time homebuyers, after renting for over 20 years, approached us in November 2022 to purchase their primary residence using a VA loan. They had a sales agreement with NVR/Ryan Homes, and the seller agreed to cover $7,000 of closing costs if the couple utilized the seller’s preferred vendors, including their in-house mortgage company.

However, just one week before their scheduled settlement in April 2023, the couple received devastating news from the preferred lender – they did not qualify for the promised financing. Disappointed, they immediately reached out to us for a solution.

Determined to help them achieve homeownership, our dedicated team thoroughly analyzed the situation. Despite the seller’s refusal to contribute the agreed-upon $7,000 closing cost allowance, we worked tirelessly to restructure the loan and make necessary adjustments. We secured VA approval through diligent efforts, allowing the couple to close on their dream home on May 23, 2023.
