They say, “When life gives you lemons… grab the tequila.” Haha! Well, maybe not always—but in this instance, I was at my wit’s end. I was on the final stretch of securing financing for my dream: owning a decades-old, family-built property. Time was running out.
Being an entrepreneur comes with its own set of challenges, and securing financing is no exception. Add in a handful of mortgage brokers and agencies that are, frankly, lazy and uninterested unless it’s easy, and it can quickly feel like your dream is slipping away. After nearly 45 days wasted with an agent who clearly didn’t know what he was doing, my hope was fading fast.
But sometimes, a star emerges from the darkest corner—someone who shines just when you need them most. For me, that star was Brian Peebles.
Referred by a referral, Brian was upfront and honest from the start. He explained that he didn’t have a program to meet my specific needs at the time but promised to check in on me to see how things were progressing. A week later, Brian followed up, and I shared the mess my current lender was making of the process.
Brian simply asked for my financials, saying he had an idea. Less than 48 hours later, he had secured a conditional approval. What followed was anything but easy, but Brian stayed the course, managing every detail with precision. I was in awe of how he balanced my timeline, the inefficiencies of the lender, and the complexities of the process, ultimately bringing everything across the finish line—just in time.
I can’t fully express my gratitude for Brian’s hard work and dedication. In a world where finding someone who truly cares is rare, Brian stands out. I have no doubt his determination and commitment will take him far.
Thank you, Brian, for everything. Dream realized.
