Cleveland Restoration Group, a unit of Smartland, today announced that it is expanding its services to better serve clients, especially its capabilities in terms of FHA 203(k) contractor services. Cleveland Restoration Group is the only FHA 203(k)-certified contractor in North East Ohio and a major provider of integrated renovation services across the state of Ohio.
FHA 203(k) loans enable property owners to renovate their residences without making sizable out-of-pocket, upfront payments. Typically, repair costs are added to the existing mortgage amount. The 203(k) contractor receives a series of payments from the 203(k) lender, while the homeowner pays off the repair costs in accordance with the agreed-upon mortgage amortization schedule.
Cleveland Restoration Group’s unwavering commitment to top-quality service centers on the following principles:
“Since 1978, people have used the 203(k) loan system and 203(k) contractors to fix up homes that need little or substantial work, and Cleveland Restoration Group over several years has played a dominant role in the Ohio real estate sector, working with such prominent 203(k) lenders as Wells Fargo, American Midwest Mortgage Corporation, Real Estate Mortgage Network and Third Federal Bank,” said Steven Gesis, Executive Vice President of Sales at Smartland. “We’ve seen tremendous success with these loans, especially in terms of the financial flexibility they give homeowners in the long term,” added Gesis.
Cleveland Restoration Group also possesses the required regulatory savvy and technical expertise to help clients throughout the entire financing process—from free home estimates and administrative paperwork processing to the review and submission of applications that comply with lender and HUD guidelines.
