Important Privacy

Warning

Your personal information for sale!

When it's time to run your credit report to obtain financing, you may learn the hard way that the credit bureaus have a "service" for sale. Once the credit bureaus see a mortgage credit report run, they will sell your name, address and phone number to anyone pays them a fee for this information.

Many people have complained of being inundated with confusing paperwork from lenders other than the one with which they applied at the very emotional time of buying a home. Additionally, others fear a very real threat of identity theft with their information floating around.

Your personal information is being sold without your consent to other lenders. Many of these lenders are generally fly-by-night companies that operate several states away and are solely interested in offering you a bait and switch mortgage offer. They will call you repeatedly and mail you solicitation after solicitation in hopes of deceiving you. These lenders often offer terms that are too good to be true and misleading.

At Security First Financial Services, we take your trust seriously and will never be less than truthful in our dealings with you. You can count on honest, straight forward mortgage recommendations from our team. After all, the best compliment to our team is the referral of friends and family to our mortgage practice. This can only be achieved by servicing our clients with great care and respect.
