Surprises Reston, Va., buyers with check to cover first mortgage payment

Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, a full service mortgage banker and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Long & Foster Companies, Inc., closed its first residential Virginia home loan in Reston on Jan. 17—a little more than two weeks after the company officially began conducting business in the Commonwealth. The purchasers, Margaret Westenhoff and Tynen-McLeod Horn, received a great surprise at closing, as Prosperity presented them with a check for their first mortgage payment.

“Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC, is off to a spectacular start, and we’re thrilled to close our first home loan in Virginia and help these two buyers achieve their homeownership dreams,” said Tim Wilson, CEO of Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC. “I’m confident our commitment to offering exceptional customer service and competitive loan products will ensure our continued success in 2014, helping us provide even more buyers with the total homeownership experience.”

Westenhoff and Horn purchased a townhouse in Reston, Va., and Brian Pawsat, a mortgage consultant with Prosperity Home Mortgage, LLC’s Reston North Hills/Herndon office, guided them through the financing process. Westenhoff and Horn also worked with Karen Swanson, a real estate professional with Long & Foster Real Estate’s Reston North Hills/Herndon office, and Don Tomlinson, branch manager and counsel of RGS Title.
