“Part of true success is understanding that there is something bigger and more important than ourselves”

Not so long ago, the American Dream started with a mortgage consultant conversation and quickly ended with home ownership. Times have changed, and not always for the better. Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost sight of that dream. Our optimistic “Today is the day to buy a home!” has been replaced with a characteristically un-American “Let’s think about a house when the economy improves.”

In reality, record-low interest rates and surprisingly modest prices are now creating an opportunity for home ownership like nothing seen in generations. Senior mortgage consultant Rebecca Johnson has the experience and desire to assist customers wanting to seize an once-in-a-lifetime chance to affordably open the door to a new home.

Rebecca’s exhilaration in guiding her clients through the challenges of the mortgage industry is backed by more than a decade of experience as a mortgage consultant. She’s worked hand-in-hand with literally hundreds of clients throughout the mortgage process. Rebecca serves clients through Mortgage 1, a Michigan-based residential lender with a main office located in Sterling Heights.

“My primary goal is to offer each of my clients the understanding that a mortgage is indeed a loan. But that loan is on a home, which is not only the single biggest investment a family will usually make, but more importantly, it’s THEIR home,” said Rebecca. “This is where memories are made, where families are raised, where holidays are celebrated. Our homes represent a foundation that helps us deal with the ups and downs of life.”

Offering underwriting services on site at the main location, Mortgage 1 team members’ share Rebecca’s principal taught in the Johnson home: “You must give more than you receive and that each person we come in contact with is special and should be treated as such.” Ask husband Douglas, daughters Alexandra and Paige and sons Sam and Jacob; the family understands that success for a community, network group or team begins with the same shared belief Rebecca extends to every client, every day. That’s why she’ll take a client’s call from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, whether she’s arriving at the soccer field for her family or readying for bed.

Specializing in FHA, VA and rural housing mortgages, Rebecca has always been opposed to subprime or option loans. Her business base is built exclusively upon word-of-mouth referrals primarily through first-time home buyers. In no small, that referral record stems from her reputation of honesty, integrity, and patience in a challenging purchase process. Clients with credit concerns are always welcome for a consultation, as Rebecca will provide insight necessary to returning to the path of future home ownership.

“I’m always very proud when a client calls and they have taken my road map and worked though the issues and are ready to have a piece of the American Dream,” said Rebecca.
