“My wife and I had credit scores ranging between 520–600. On top of that, we had defaulted private student loans and credit card debt. We also wanted to use a VA loan, which can sometimes be more challenging to work with. Despite our situation, we had a strong two years of good financial history and a promising future ahead. While many companies turned us away early in the process—or even after getting close to underwriting—Stafford Financial LLC took on the challenge and stood by us every step of the way. For nearly two months, they worked tirelessly on our file, communicating with us regularly, opening and closing business days after hours, and advocating for us throughout underwriting and with all involved parties. They consistently kept our best interests at heart. When everyone else said it couldn’t be done, Stafford Financial proved that it could. It definitely wasn’t an easy process for anyone involved, but thanks to their dedication and persistence, my wife and I are now happily living in our new home. I’m not saying they performed a miracle—you still need to have reasonable debt-to-income ratios, stable employment, and solid payment history—but if you’re being turned away when you shouldn’t be, and you’re looking for a team willing to go above and beyond to help you succeed, this is the team you want by your side.”
