We rented out the entire theme park for an afternoon packed with fun, games, and memories made just for our Signature agents and their families.

HAPPENINGS AT CONTOUR
GUIDING YOUR CLIENTS ON USING HOME EQUITY:
We are proud to offer our Bridge Loan product to help homeowner’s buy their new home with cash before they sell their current home. Our clients are also using a HELOC to buy investment properties and second homes with cash to strengthen their offers. Both provide unique solutions for our agents to create more opportunities.
Our Renovation HELOC allows your borrowers to build their dream home. Our product will value the property based on the construction planned. This gains them access to significantly more money than any other 2nd lien available. For our agents, if the client finds that the current home renovation is out of reach, they often decide to sell and buy a new home, creating a lot of new business!
We find that most clients with equity have many goals, but not sure where to start. Presenting ideas outside the box will sperate you as the expert and create more opportunities for you! See your dedicated Contour Mortgage Loan Officer for further details.
HUNTINGTON CHAMBER MEET & GREET
