Dawn Sarte and Lexy Millen are mortgage loan officers with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation’s local New Wave Team. The company was founded in 1996 and is based in Madison, Wisconsin. It provides financing for first-time homebuyers, VA, FHA, USDA, along with down payment assistance—essentially a full service, non-bank lender, with unmatched customer service and affordable pricing.
Both women bring experience and dedication to their profession, with a shared goal and passion for helping clients become homeowners.
The New Wave Team has been the number one lender on the Grand Strand for the past four years, with a proven record in providing first-class service to their referral partners and borrowers.
Both Sarte and Millen are attuned to the latest trends in their field, and address those similarly.
According to Millen, “As a millennial, I see so many misconceptions and general lack of clarity among millennial home buyers. It’s my mission to educate and advocate for my generation, because buying a house in 2023 is MUCH different than buying a house back in the 1980s.”
Sarte adds: “The one thing that is in everyone’s forefront is mortgage rates. The New Wave Team can speak to our borrowers about the economic balance and the cause for the increase.”
Each also has sound advice for women starting out in business.
Millen: “Be unapologetically bold and as fearless as possible! Confidence comes from consistently doing the things you are scared of.
Sarte: “Whether you’re beginning a career in mortgage or another venture, find your why and your passion. Once you know these, execute them in your daily activity. Always be ready to adapt, because in the mortgage industry, no two days are the same. Take criticism as a learning tool; it’s given to help you, not hurt you. You will have good and bad days, but through it all, remember it is an opportunity for growth and learning...without failure, we cannot have growth.”
