Wright-Patt Credit Union joins elite Million Dollar Club after it meets national milestone through the HomeAdvantage program
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., October 5, 2016—In 2003, Dayton, Ohio-based Wright-Patt Credit Union launched a new real estate program with a very specific goal: increase purchase mortgage volume and deepen member relationships. Now, 13 years after implementing the HomeAdvantage™ program from CU Realty Services, the 320 thousand-member CU with $3.2 billion in assets has closed thousands of mortgage loans that have come through the turnkey real estate program. Just as importantly, Wright-Patt Credit Union has delivered $1.6 million in savings to its members in the form of cash rewards at closing.
While hundreds of CUs and CUSOs across the U.S. have partnered with HomeAdvantage, Wright-Patt Credit Union is one of only eight CUs to exceed the $1 million milestone.
Credit unions that use HomeAdvantage are able to give their members a one-stop, home-buying experience, that allows them to search for homes online, connect with local and program-approved real estate agents, and to earn cash rewards at closing.
“Surpassing this million dollar milestone means we’ve provided tremendous value to our members as they’ve achieved their dream of homeownership,” said Tim Mislansky, senior vice-president and chief lending officer at Wright-Patt Credit Union. “Many of our members are first-time home buyers where every dollar counts. You can imagine how much that cash at closing helps someone who may have only a small amount of money saved for a down payment and closing costs.”
