A Season of Gratitude: What We’re Thankful for at RMN
As the season of thankfulness arrives, we can’t help but reflect on just how much we have to be grateful for here at RMN. For 38 years, we’ve had the honor of helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership. With decades of collective experience among our team, it’s not just what we do, it’s who we are. We love our job and working with local Iowans. So, this month our blog is a special reflection on what we’re thankful for at RMN, and a thank you to everyone we work with who makes a difference.
Thankful for Our Team
Every successful closing day starts with an incredible team behind it, and we have truly one of the best. From our knowledgeable loan officers to our dedicated support staff and in-house underwriter (who’s just down the hall when we need them!), we’re thankful for the expertise that makes the RMN experience exceptional, efficient, and personalized.
Thankful for Our Experience and Knowledge
We’re deeply grateful for the confidence and comfort that come from truly understanding the programs. At RMN, we know every loan program inside and out—whether it’s VA, FHA, USDA, or Conventional—and that means we can match each borrower with the program that fits them best. No one has to walk out of here not knowing if they were offered the best options for their situation, and that gives us peace of mind. Knowledge is power, and we’re thankful to use that power to help our clients succeed.
Thankful for Being Local
As a small business rooted right here in Iowa, we’re thankful for our community. We know our local market because we live here too. We work with local partners, understand local needs, and have access to programs that national lenders simply can’t offer (Like the Iowa Finance Authority Grants and Programs that only IFA participating Lenders have the ability to offer).
Thankful for the Opportunity to Help People Buy Homes
Every home loan we close represents a dream realized. We’re thankful every day for the opportunity to guide people through one of life’s biggest milestones. Whether it’s a first-time buyer or a family finding their forever home, helping people achieve homeownership is what keeps us passionate year after year.
Thankful for the RMN School of Lending
We’re also grateful to have a platform to educate and empower people through our RMN School of Lending. Understanding the mortgage process makes it less stressful and more exciting, and we’re thankful to play a part in helping people feel confident and informed.
To Our Partners
We couldn’t do what we do without the incredible partners who work alongside us.
To our Realtor Partners: thank you for trusting us to help your clients make it to the closing table with ease. Your collaboration and communication make all the difference.
To the Iowa Finance Authority: thank you for providing programs that truly open doors for Iowans! From the Military Down Payment Assistance Grant ($5,000 with no strings attached) to the 5% Down Payment Assistance and $2,500 Grant programs, you make homeownership more attainable. These programs are the perfect cherry on top of already fantastic home loan options.
To our local partners—insurance agents, appraisers, inspectors, and other small businesses. We’re thankful for the relationships that keep our local economy strong. Working with people who care about their neighbors and understand what is happening locally makes the entire home buying process better.
To Our Customers
We’re extremely thankful for every customer who chooses RMN. You’re the reason we love what we do. Your stories inspire us, and your touching reviews remind us why this work matters. Thank you for trusting us!
To Those Who Refer Us
Referrals are the highest compliment we can receive. Whether they come from Realtors, past clients, or community partners, every referral tells us we’ve earned your trust. That means the world to us. To everyone who has ever recommended RMN to a friend, family member, or client: thank you, truly.
And Finally—To You!
If you’ve made it this far, thank you for being part of our journey. Whether you’ve worked with us before, follow us online, or are just getting to know RMN, we’re grateful you’re here.
From all of us at Residential Mortgage Network, thank you for making what we do so meaningful.
