Nest Case Scenario
Dream homes often need home loans—Wingman helps you navigate your best options and get the deal done.
His first focus was nature. Until he bought his first home. Zak Cole, owner of Wingman Mortgage, turned that focus from marine biology and wildlife filmmaking to something much closer to home.
The epiphany came in an email. After all the hoops Zak and his fiancée jumped through as first-time homebuyers, it was nothing short of thrilling to finally get that email from their mortgage advisor announcing: We Are Clear to Close! “It felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off our shoulders. I thought, ‘now that is a career path I can get behind.’”
He chose the name Wingman as both a nod to his passion for birding, and a promise that he’ll hook buyers up with the best deal for their situation. “I love that feeling of delivering on people’s dreams. It could be sending them that satisfying Clear to Close email, or it could be qualifying them for HELOCs, which are hot right now.”
For longtime homeowners who want to free up some equity without sacrificing their low interest rate, Zak says a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is the way to go—and getting one is as easy as scanning a QR Code.
“The private lenders I have access to can offer more flexible terms than banks and credit unions. The application takes five minutes, and the money is in your account in five days. And I do so love being able to say ‘Yes!’”
