Jason talks about the one thing he believes we can control during all the uncertainty around us, listen to what he has to say at minute 7:43.
“There is one thing you can control and all the world you can’t control, and that’s your debt.”
Our very own, Brooke, worked with Atrion when she became a homeowner, clearing to close in only five days! Northport Funding has been thriving this past year when it comes to speed and deliverance; closing loans in 10 days versus a minimum of 30 days at a big bank.
Realizing the power of social media and adapting with the times, Jason and Atrion truly took advantage of this and marketed themselves early on. From their Instagram, you can tell how genuine and intentional they are. At minute 14:45 Jason talks about the intentional effort they make with their team, believing that someone who fits well with the culture trumps someone with experience who may not be the best fit.
