When DJ and TTCU Federal Credit Union member Matthew M. decided to spin a new chapter in his life, buying his first home became the ultimate remix. As newlyweds, Matthew and his wife Joanna wanted to move on from apartment living. They were looking for the right place to build their future family – a home in a good area of town with an easy commute.
Matthew and Joanna had previous experience with TTCU. Matthew’s dad worked at Jenks Public Schools for thirty-five years and was a member of the credit union due to TTCU’s support for education. After his good experience with TTCU, Matthew chose the credit union for his first checking account. Then, when he and Joanna were beginning to dream of owning their first home, it made sense to reach back out to TTCU.
“I appreciate the personal experience I get with TTCU,” Matthew said. “The staff are local and live in the area, so it feels like they care more.”
As first-time home buyers, Matthew and Joanna wanted to work with a financial institution that would help them through the process. After all, a mortgage is often the largest financial commitment a person makes, so it’s important to approach the process with a solid understanding of what’s involved. Matthew’s TTCU mortgage loan originator even helped him through the process of making offers on homes and selecting the final home to purchase.
“I can’t speak highly enough of it,” Matthew said. “It was a great experience. (TTCU staff) answered every question, even the small, random stuff. I felt like the TTCU staff weren’t just trying to sell me something. They felt more like a friend trying to help out.”
Now, Matthew and Joanna are happily living a remixed life in a home they love. Matthew plans to continue to use TTCU for years to come.
In addition to his great mortgage experience, Matthew appreciates that TTCU continues to innovate and incorporate modern technology. He uses the TTCU app to track his accounts and watch his savings grow. Now, he and Joanna are discussing starting a family someday as they work towards their future money goals.
“TTCU will definitely have a part to play in our financial future,” Matthew said.
