Buying Your Home, the Origin Way

We interviewed our client, Grant Wylie, about his recent experience working with Origin SC. Check out this awesome success story!


Q. What was your first experience with Origin SC/how did you hear about us?
A. This was my first experience with Origin. I found them by doing an online search for down payment assistance programs in South Carolina and found out that they offered classes that could help me with that. Then I learned of Origin's other programs as well.

Q. Was the "Origin Way" of buying a home effective?
A. It was. They answered all of my questions along the way and helped me to understand the process. It went much easier than expected. 

Q. Did you work with Origin Lending? If so, how was your overall experience with your Lending advisor, Stephanie Reed? Was she friendly, knowledgeable and helpful?
A. I did work with Origin Lending, both with Stephanie and Alex, before Alex moved. Both were fantastic and easy to communicate with.


Q. Did you benefit from the National Fair Housing Alliance fund? If so, how did the NFA fund help you successfully get into your home?
A. Yes, I did benefit from the NFA fund. Although I was prepared to move forward with the home purchase without the NFA assistance, having that financial assistance allowed me to make some much needed home repairs soon after purchase that I would have otherwise had to postpone.

Q. Did you work with Origin Realty? If so, how was that experience? Would you recommend them to others?
A. I did. Both Brad and Debbie listened to all my specific needs and worked with me through my search process, relieving much of the frustrations that can come from purchasing a first home.


Q. Do you have any additional comments or suggestions for our staff and the granting process?
A. I could not speak more highly of the Origin staff and all the help they provide. When I went to my first class with them I expected to learn the process of purchasing a home and planning for that to happen years from now. They helped me realize my dream much faster and I can't thank them enough.


Q. What would you say to a person that is thinking about buying a home?
A. It will probably be the most intense and at times stressful purchase you'll have made up to this point in your life.  But if you remain calm, follow the advice of the Origin staff, and remember they are there to make your dream a reality, they will get you where you want to go. When it's all over you'll feel a sense of pride in yourself that you did not know existed.
