A Note From Brian Parkinson

In August 2008, I realized I had an incredible opportunity to return to my true passion — sitting down with clients at their kitchen table to create a plan to help them buy a new home, or look at ways they could refinance an existing mortgage to help them put more money in their pocket.

After carefully evaluating lenders in the Twin Cities, I knew that Residential Mortgage Group (RMG) was a perfect fit for several reasons. It’s a strong local company that values professional and personalized service and offers great product pricing.

What’s more, RMG provides me with the support I need to help make the process of taking out a mortgage — or refinancing one — simpler for you. This includes enabling me to work flexible hours so that I can meet with you in your home or office — or in my office — at a time that is convenient for you.

In addition, because of my experience managing sales teams, underwriters, processors and appraisers, I can help you feel comfortable with each step of the process and answer any questions you may have.

Best of all, this combination of factors enables me to offer you and my industry partners with thoughtful recommendations, a good value and added confidence about the future.

If you’d like to work with an industry professional who will remain as interested in providing you with quality service after the closing as he was before, please give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
