SimonHouses.com Loan Officer, Sherry Reid, Promoted to Vice President of TowneBank Mortgage

For immediate release - September 28, 2011

Mortgage industry veteran, Sherry Reid, was recently promoted to vice president. Settling in to her new job responsibilities at TowneBank Mortgage, she knows she can help clients at SimonHouses.com even more now.

Virginia Beach, Va., September 28, 2011- Sherry Reid is now vice president of TowneBank Mortgage thanks to a recent promotion. The best in the business don't always get recognized, so it's nice when a creative, hard worker like Reid gets a nod in her direction. Previously a senior loan officer, Reid earned this promotion as a direct result of her consistent dedication to loan production.

Moving up the ranks, Reid first entered the world of home financing in 1986 as a receptionist for another mortgage broker. Later, she came aboard TowneBank Mortgage and her years spent in-house as a loan officer have prepared her for her current position. When asked what she likes most about being vice president; it was not a bigger office or a higher title that came to mind. She says her favorite part of the new position is knowing it gives her clients even more confidence knowing she will do what it takes to help them and make them feel special. “I love it,” says Reid.

While some have floundered in this business, Reid has blossomed. “I love the mortgage industry because every client is like a new book.” Reid continues, “I care about each and every client.” She does not accept the word “no,” never utters the phrase “can't do” and has a positive attitude she graciously shares with those around her. Her specialties include working with first-time homebuyers and procuring government loans.

She has worked with SimonHouses.com and their clients for more than six years. She values the loyalty that comes from working with this company's top-producing agents who, like her, understand that success takes commitment and determination. “I started out with Brian when he was working as a real estate agent.” The two talked about future goals and an alliance was formed. Indeed they did more than talk as they have achieved high levels of sales in a competitive industry.

“Sherry is an amazing asset to our business,” says Dr. Brian P. Simon, founder of SimonHouses.com. Reid helps buyers continue purchasing homes when they may have thought they stood no chance of qualifying to buy such nice houses.

Although home ownership is the quintessential American dream, some renters may still have misgivings about the process in these rocky, economic times. Reid explains, “Now is the best time to buy. Rates are at their all time low.” Reid continues, “Now is the time to purchase a home. It's one of the best investments.”

The qualifying process can be quick and painless when buying a home with SimonHouses.com and seeking mortgage help from Reid. After learning where clients' comfort levels are, the monthly figures they feel comfortable paying and the type of financing they need, Reid says she can get buyers qualified in as little as 10 minutes over the phone.
