MEMBER PROFILE

Robert Earl Member

Robert Earl has been a member for two years. "I came to Alternatives when I first moved to Ithaca," Robert says of his experience. "I was able to sit down with a mortgage loan officer and find out exactly what I needed to get a mortgage. The thing about Alternatives is that applying for a loan isn't just a "no" or "yes" process. Other financial institutions just say "no" or "yes," but at Alternatives you get the way to get to "yes." The loan officer devises a plan to make it happen. The conversation is positive."
