Hi @Charles Hirst, I appreciate you sharing your experience with JWB. I'm one of the owners and I can help clear up a few things. We do allow clients to see inventory in a number of different ways. Anyone can go to our website and request to "view properties" and you'll instantly get the opportunity to view 3. These also come on an excel document that you can use as your own rental property ROI calculator. These properties were just recently sold and are very representative of the types of assets our clients can purchase here in Jacksonville.
I also host a few weekly segments where I breakdown a new JWB property of the week. This property is currently available. I host a weekly show on Thursdays at 12:30pm ET where everyone can view the property and ask any questions as I break it down live on the call.
In addition, I do a facebook live segment every Friday in our facebook group where I highlight the property of the week as well. In fact, I just jumped off when I read your forum post.
I'm not sure if you were aware of these forums but I just wanted you to know there are a number of ways to view available inventory. If you'd like to chat privately, I'd be happy to get you connected to the show and our facebook group.
As far as the lender goes, you are correct that we do require all clients to use a lender in our approved network. If you'd like to share the name of your lender, we'd be happy to let you know if they are on our approved list. We don't publish our list of approved lenders as we make adjustments within the lender network based on current interest rates, terms, lead volume and loan volume. We're only going to connect you with a lender who is going to have the lowest rates and is going to have the bandwith in order to keep a high level of customer service. Vetting lenders is no fun and we have done a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
We do not require that you are pre-approved with a lender to view inventory. We make an initial introduction to you after our first phone call and ask that you get on the phone with the lender in the coming days for a verbal pre-approval. We do not require that they run your credit score or compile your financial documents at that time. And, of course, we move forward with a client demo and we review inventory with you before you necessarily have that conversation with the lender. Of course, before we get to property selection, we do require that you have that lender conversation as it isn't in anyone's best interest to go under contract if the financing isn't a possibility.
The last thing we would want you to do is to feel that you are being kept in the dark regarding your options. I'm sorry if you felt that way and we'd love the opportunity to work with you again.
