Working with first-time homebuyers is a true joy. I get to guide them through every step of the process, helping turn their homeownership dreams into reality. They're often excited but cautious, and I take pride in being their trusted mortgage professional. It’s not their job to know every detail—that's where Jacie and I come in. We ensure they have a smooth experience, providing the tools and guidance needed to confidently reach the closing table. I often tell clients, “Just like I rely on a doctor for expert advice on my health, you can rely on us to navigate your home purchase. We’ll walk you through every step and keep the joy alive on this incredible journey.

WITH CROSS COUNTY MORTGAGE

MEET JOSIE MATTHEWS

Working with First-Time Homebuyers is a treat. It gives me the privilege of explaining the process from start to finish with individuals who are eager to begin their homeownership dream. They are excited but timid, and I take pride in being their go-to mortgage professional. No question should be left unasked or unanswered. It isn’t the first-time buyers job to know the ins and outs of purchasing a home. It is mine, and my partner, Jacie’s job to ensure they have a smooth transition and to give them the tools necessary to confidently make their way to the closing table. An analogy I always give my clients is this, “I go to the doctor to ask advice on how to feel better." Why? Because I don’t know what illness I have or what medication I need to heal. I simply don’t have expertise in the medical profession. Clients come to me and Jacie because they need advice on how to purchase a home. It is NOT a client’s responsibility to know every answer or even the next steps. With gladness, I will walk you through each step in the process and do my best to keep the joy through this admirable journey you have chosen.

Jacie is amazing! She helped us along the way for the purchase of our new home, just north of Wilmington. We house/neighborhood hunted with her, and months later when our house was complete, she provided us with every detail we needed to close. Jacie also gave us helpful information like general/seasonal house upkeep, which was so nice to receive as first-time homeowners! She is so kind, easy to be around and we love her. When the time comes to sell, we will definitely be using her or anyone with Jacie & Company (we met Sarah a few times as well, she is amazing too)!
