A message from Kevin J. Ahearn, President, Otis & Ahearn.
As we kick off the New Year, we are pleased to announce a strategic alliance with Chase, one of the nation’s leading residential housing lenders. In naming Chase as our partner for mortgage services, Otis & Ahearn, Chase and our mutual customers stand to benefit.
In this challenging mortgage environment, the alliance with Chase offers us greater transaction control and a wealth of local support throughout our clients’ home purchase and sales process. Chase’s team of Loan Officers in the greater Boston area can enhance and facilitate our sales by delivering the on-time performance and superior service our clients expect and deserve. In addition, our ability to leverage the Chase brand with its reputation for stability and experience will help us strengthen our position in the market.
From Chase’s perspective, the alliance with a premier residential brokerage and marketing company like Otis & Ahearn affords them a significant opportunity to expand their business and build strong partnerships with our top-shelf real estate professionals.
Customers will benefit from the convenience, superior financing options and priority services that Chase provides. In addition to a full array of fixed and variable mortgages, Chase offers programs designed specifically for buyers of new construction properties, such as the Chase Lock-Solidsm Platinum Program, which gives buyers the ability to lock-in an interest rate for up to 12 months. The Chase Premier Buildersm Program includes additional incentives such as extended life of credit documents for buyers, guaranteed on-time closing documents and a final inspection waiver. Both of these programs will be available to Otis and Ahearn clients.
