After working with many top lenders throughout my 5 month home buying journey; Roger by far exceeded my expectations. He was attentive, informative and made himself readily available to me; which is huge in this line of business. He was very professional and optimistic even when we had some deal breaking issues that eventually resolved. In conclusion, Roger is a great asset to your lending firm and I will gladly recommend him without any reservations.

This was my wife and I first home and with amber’s incredible knowledge and work ethic it made the buying process really enjoyable, especially knowing that I could basically call amber at anytime of night and she would pick up and answer any questions I had. I don’t have enough words to express exactly how happy we were with amber and her team, one thing I do know is that amber is worth a million dollars an hour and deserves a healthy raise. :)

A Brief History of #FairwayNation

Fairway was founded by Steve Jacobson and named by a childhood best friend, colleague and forever member of the Fairway family, Randy Cross. Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation is a mortgage lender headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin and Carrollton, Texas.

This is some text inside of a div block.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
