Brandon Pratt just got certified as a Renovation Home Loan Specialist at CrossCountry Mortgage this winter.

Since I have flipped and built houses over the years throughout New England, SC and FL, I wanted to expand my mortgage skills to include Renovation Loans

We have EIGHT renovation loans to choose from like FHA 203k, VA Renovation, Fannie Mae Homestyle Renovation, Freddie Mac CHOICERenovation and a few more!  These loans are pretty easy to do and can close in 60 days!  

 

I can do these loans in Mass, NH, Maine, SC and Florida too for second homes and investment properties too!

 

Thanks and chat soon!

Remembering Cameron Beavers


Remembering Cameron Beavers


Friday, 2/21/25, marks 3 years since Cam passed away.  We still miss him every day. He remains the best of us, remembered for all he brought to our lives.  We were truly blessed!Cam loved Gloucester, & some of my favorite memories are the times we spent sitting near the Fisherman’s statue looking out to sea. That was his happy place. How lucky were we to have had him in our lives, & to have shared all the special times we did in Gloucester – from whale watches to Sugar Mags to Wingaersheek to the Blvd & more.

We love you, Cam!
