afford?’ and doing it earlier in the process, we will give homebuyers
greater confidence and put them in a better position when placing an
offer on a specific home,” said Robert J. Smith, president of Discover
Home Loans.
“The goal of working with Discover Home Loans is to provide our brokers
and agents with the knowledge and tools to better serve homebuyers and
to ultimately be more successful,” said Robert W. McAdams, Jr.,
