Phil Turner’s blog Babies & Buying a Home is the genesis for this blog. While I have not been in the mortgage business long enough to have experienced the satisfaction like Phil, of doing a lone a child that was born to a family that I have done a loan for. I
have had a similar experience that has given me as much satisfaction as Phil’s experience has given to him. A two months a go I did a loan on a young couple that I watch grow up since they were both in kindergarten. Both of them went to elementary school, junior high, and high school with my oldest son. Jordan, played little league baseball and song in the concert chores with my oldest son also. When I got the call that these two kids were buying a house, and wanted me to do the mortgage, it was a great day. I am not a very sentimental person, in fact some of my closest friends question if I have a heart. But that evening when I was telling my wife that they had come to me to help them get into their first house, my eyes got a little blurry. I went to the closing and brought them a gift, and you could not wipe the smile off my face through the whole closing. The picture to the left is the house that they bought
This business has some great rewards besides money, this was on of my best. Thanks Phil for the blog.

Nothing wrong with getting blurry eyes, George. It's never about the money.

It definitely wasn't about the money in this case Rich.
Thank you for sharing your story, George. You will have many more similar stories over the years, I am sure.
I hope that I am around as long as you Phil to be able to tell them.
