A Letter To The Editor 11-23-11

I wanted to share a recent experience that illustrates the benefit of patronizing the local businesses that have provided you with good service over the years. I recently refinanced my home because the rates were fantastic (10 years at 3.875). I chose to use the small local practice and hometown attorney that has done settlements for me over the years and has always done a good job. The attorney that the mortgage company would have referred me to would have charged $1,700. The hometown attorney was $350 because they had done the title work before, etc. The savings was a great holiday surprise, not to mention that everything was thoroughly explained without feeling rushed.

Thank you,
