Q&A with Shachi Bhardwaj

What made you decide to be a BankSouth Loan Officer?

I really enjoy helping people and find it extremely fulfilling to help my clients with one of the biggest decisions they will make in their lives. No two loan scenarios are alike, and I take the time to understand my client's short term and long-term goals, and to guide them accordingly.

What would you say is your biggest professional success?

No matter how difficult a loan situation is, I tend to remain calm and collected in these situations. This not only helps me solve the situation effectively but also helps reassure my anxious clients.
I am a natural problem solver, with an in-depth understanding of the unique challenges faced by non-resident borrowers who are migrating to the USA on a work visa, as well as Expats returning to the USA after an extended stay overseas.

List 1-3 reasons you are different than others in your profession.

  • I pride myself on the accuracy of my quoted fees. With me there are never any last-minute surprises.
  • I am the ultimate team player. I help my loan team in all parts of the process. I always do my own in-depth research in response to underwriter questions. When one team member is down due to being sick or overwhelmed, I jump in immediately. I also look out for my clients' interests that extend beyond the loan. It could be a title issue, a credit issue, or a visa issue - I am always looking for ways to solve my clients' problems.
  • I keep my customers informed on the latest status of their home loan without being asked. If I have to leave town, I email each agent, builder and customer individually to let them know of my plans, who they can contact in my absence, and if anything is expected of them while I am away.

List up to 3 things you enjoy doing on weekends.

I love to cook – the weekends are spent cooking for family and spoiling my Grandkids!

List no more than 5 significant awards you’ve received in your field?

I have been receiving every year since 2009, the Mortgage Bankers’ Association’s Gold Award. I am also deeply grateful to all my clients for their 5-Star post-loan reviews that consistently cite my patience, accuracy, availability, guidance, and support to them, during the mortgage process.

Mortgage Market Interest Rates

Interest rates for mortgages can vary significantly from one borrower to the next based on the specific details of the transaction. Some of the main factors that affect the interest rate are credit score, down payment or loan-to-value, the type of mortgage, and how long the interest rate is locked.

The information below depicts average rates on a national level. These rates are not specific to BankSouth Mortgage but are provided to give a general idea of where rates are nationally for different loan types. This information is calculated from actual locked rates with customers across 35% of all mortgage transactions nationwide.

This is not a commitment to lend and does not guarantee the availability of any particular product or interest rate. Rates/terms illustrated in the chart may not be available through BankSouth Mortgage. Rates and information in this chart are powered by OBMMI™ (“Optimal Blue Mortgage Market Indices”). The OBMMI™ methodology takes the average rate of all appropriate interest rates locked through the Optimal Blue, LLC (“Optimal Blue”) product and pricing engine (“PPE”) on a given day. No adjustments to the rates that account for buy-up or buy-down decisions made by individuals are performed. These indices leverage data from Optimal Blue PPE lock requests (approximately 35% of all locks nationwide) aggregated daily and updated nightly with the previous day’s locks. Weekends and holidays are excluded. All applicable product types are included unless otherwise specified.

I’m not going to go into our story, but I can tell you during what was turning into a very bleak and “we might have to abandon our retirement home” due to the sudden turn of economy, etc, Shachi, who was referred to us, literally save us immensely. We had already talked to many others about a mortgage loan from a transferred of a construction loan and only she was able to not only help us, she also was able to keep us in our “ballpark” while the VA did the usual bureaucratic red tape for a lot longer than anyone expected. Shachi went above and beyond! Many thanks.

Very quick and straightforward. My only complaint was that paperwork required for closing was not clear (Closing disclosure vs ATLA - which was previously accepted) and almost held up closing if I didn't panic call 10 people to get the correct version of the exact same form.

Shachi was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her relaxed and cheerful demeanor helped to put me at ease and was invaluable during my most stressful moments. I deeply appreciated her accessibility and her patience. She always took the time to answer my questions and to explain the process in terms I could understand. Shachi is an absolute treasure. I would not hesitate to work with her again. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a lender.
