Working with Duane was a positive experience. He was professional, responsive, and made each step of the process easy to understand. He was available nearly all the time, always willing to answer questions and provide guidance whenever needed. Overall, the experience was smooth and straightforward, and I would recommend Duane to anyone looking for mortgage assistance.
I would like to say without any hesitation Duane from Coast to Coast has the best customer service I’ve had working with. Every question I had was answered in a way to explain/teach me rather than just be annoyed (like most people do). He would take my calls no mater the time or would message me that he was going to call me back. Truly a blessing having him and his team on our side. 10/10 recommend!!!
As a first time home-buyer with a unique situation, Duane had to field A LOT of questions from me. He was always patient, thorough, and made sure to explain multiple options. I distinctly remember him saying "I won't hang up until I'm sure you understand." He was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend him!
In our local market, speed is everything. Most homes here go under contract in less than 3 weeks. I provide a “Modern Mortgage Experience” that can get you a solid pre-approval letter in hours, not days, so you can submit your offer the moment you find the right home
Many families move here specifically for the Virginia County Public Schools. Because home prices in these zones can be higher, I specialize in “Jumbo” and “Conventional” loan products that offer competitive rates for high-value properties, ensuring you don’t have to sacrifice your child’s education for an affordable monthly payment.
Glen Allen has shown incredible price resilience. While rates fluctuate, local property values continue to grow steadily. I help my clients focus on the “long-term outcome” securing the home now and planning a strategic refinance later if rates drop, ensuring you don’t miss out on equity gains.
While many believe 20% is required, that is a myth. Especially for first-time buyers in our area, there are programs starting as low as 3% or 3.5% (FHA). For our Veterans, VA loans offer 0% down. I’ll help you calculate the “heart of the numbers” to see which down payment strategy keeps your cash reserves healthy for move in costs.
Yes. In Glen Allen, you are often competing with 3 5 other buyers. Beyond just a letter, I can personally call the listing agent to vouch for your financial strength. This extra “human touch” often gives my clients the edge they need to win the house without overpaying.
