Making life (and lending) easier:
How DuGood saved one member
valuable time and money
SHEILA BURKHALTER
When Sheila Burkhalter decided to pursue her MBA, she knew it wouldn’t be easy. As a full-time business office manager and student, her schedule would be challenging – and her to-do list would be extensive.
Shelia had her eye on the prize though. She knew what she wanted and believed it was worth the investment.
Finding solutions. Meeting needs.
Her auto buying experience was much the same. After shopping for vehicles, Sheila knew the Nissan Rogue was the SUV for her.
She’d done the math and was looking for a specific rate and monthly note that would fit her budget. That’s when she contacted DuGood.
“My salesman couldn’t get me the rate and monthly note I wanted. I told him to give me a few minutes, and I would call him back with a solution to that issue,” Sheila said.
Easy and hassle free
Upon calling DuGood, Sheila was immediately connected with a Lending Rep, named Torey. She described her experience as “AMAZING” and “easy peasy.”
Within 24 hours, Sheila had her pre-approval within the budget range she was looking for. She reserved her Rogue and signed the necessary documents at the dealership without ever stepping foot inside the credit union.
“This was truly the easiest loan closing I have ever been through and highly recommend DuGood to anyone,” Sheila exclaimed.
Service for every lifestyle
With a bright smile and a stylish pair of shades, Sheila poses in front of her new SUV.
There’s no hiding her excitement and the satisfaction she feels about a purchase well made.
“DuGood has been amazing to me! I highly recommend DuGood to anyone looking to find a financial home that truly understands the hectic and chaotic lives that most deal with,” Sheila concluded.
