First Place Bank
Traverse City has a new choice when it comes to lending. First Place Bank has just announced that they will have a lending branch here in Traverse City. Wait, that is not the best news. The best news is that the entire lending team from Bank of America has come on board to join them. We will have the same great faces and service but with a much better product line for the consumer. Holly Hack, Loan Officer has informed me that First Place has great rates, lot loans, construction loans and the two best things are that we will once again have local processing and underwriting. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Local processing is something that our local banks took away last year as a cost cutting measure. Customer service from those lending institutions suffered greatly as a result of this. I cannot tell you how helpful local underwriting will be. No longer will a loan officer have to wait for a return phone call or email from someone they have never met downstate or out of state for an answer to your loan status. If you or your clients have any mortgage or re-finance needs, give Holly a call at 231-409-0771 or email her at holly@hollyhack.com.

What happened to your Bank of America....? Did they close their doors or just move over to the new company?
All of the staff moved to the new bank. I am not sure what BofA will do with the loan center up here. It was not a full service bank, just a mortgage office.
