Hey Raleigh, it’s your newsletter team here. Did you know Coastal Credit Union offers in-house Real Estate services?

We recently stopped by to learn how their streamlined homebuying process with Daymark Realty makes it easier than ever to find and finance your dream space.

First stop: Financing

Our afternoon started at the St. Albans branch to meet with Sandra Braswell, a mortgage loan officer with 30+ years of local experience.

Not going to lie, we went in with next to no knowledge of loans and mortgages, but Sandra made it easy to understand our options and choose with confidence.

Everyone you need in one place

From there, we simply walked across the hall to meet with a member of the Daymark Realty team. Our convo was friendly, casual, and totally pressure-free.

They asked us about our favorite parts of Raleigh and were able to make specific property recommendations within our given budget (North Hills, here we come).

Best of all: We learned that Coastal Credit Union members enjoy special savings when working with Daymark, including up to $500 toward closing costs.
