INKSTER, Mich. - Michimich -- Kristen Milefchik, Vaccine Advocate, of the Disability Rights Michigan, beams with joy after teaming up with 5th Third Bank to close on her first home.
I talked to other loan officers previously, but I wasn't sure I was getting the best deal. When I went to the homeowner's seminar, it was informative and talked a lot about the process, finding a home, the home inspection, and finding the real estate agent and getting the appraisal done, and how to do your budget to make sure you can afford the payments.
I just really thought that the presenter, Samual Blue, from 5th Third Bank, seemed like somebody would be a good person to work with on finding a home and getting a loan. He seemed trustworthy and really interested in helping people. That it was more than a job thing, it was more of a personal interest to him to help me. He ended up being my loan officer. He looked for down payment assistance programs that I would qualify for, and I also got a real estate agent. It really takes a team to walk you through everything especially if you have a lot of questions, like I did. He would always answer my questions and this team were advocates for me.

I wasn't able to save up using a regular savings account because I have to put my savings into a Mi-Able account. The MI-Able account for disabled people, is managed by 5th Third Bank so when it came time to write the check from closing so I just transferred the money from my MI-ABLE account (https://savewithable.com/mi/home.html) into my checking account. I can use the Mi-Able account to save up for the expenses. There are a lot of things that you have to work on before you go apply for a loan. I had great credit but wanted to work on it. I used the budget worksheet and called Sam numerous of times to ask him questions about the appraisal or he also was looking for any and all down payment assistance programs. I did get a down payment assistance through 5th Third Bank. Watch this video: https://youtu.be/HJiO5h1a7Nc.

My real estate agent is Stacy Ramsay ABR, GRI, SFC, Real Estate Professional, RE/MAX Leading Edge, 734-323-9000.
