Community Referral Program

We are committed to our community, and we are proud to have the opportunity to support local charities and nonprofit organizations through our Community Referral Program. With each referral we receive, we donate $25 to our quarterly referral partner. In the past, we have partnered with many fantastic organizations, such as The Lovelady Center, Children’s Harbor, The Jimmie Hale Mission, and the Backpack Buddies. Thanks to your referrals during the 2022 2nd quarter, we were able to give $2,825 to The Boys and Girls Club of Central Alabama, a life-enhancing program that enriches our youth with hope and opportunity. Click HERE to read more about this worthy organization.

For the third quarter of 2022, we are looking forward to helping neverthirst with your continued help and support. For more on our Community Referral Program, read more on our blog by clicking here.

Method Serve Days

We were honored to partner with Renasant Bank in June for an incredible Serve Day in Linn Park and Team Building lunch afterwards. Thank you to Nancy New and Dennis Sunderland at Renasant for making this uplifting day possible! 

In July, the Method Team had the opportunity to provide & serve lunch for the guests of First Light, a Shelter for Homeless Women and Children located in the heart of downtown Birmingham. Afterwards, we took a tour of the facility and learned about their inspiring mission.

Current Mortgage Rate Info – Contact Us!

Clients are asking our thoughts on current and future interest rates. To keep things in perspective, the all-time highest interest rate was 18.63% in October 1981 (according to Freddie Mac data). Rates right now are close to the US historical 30-year average mortgage rate. The other good news is that what goes up, must come down. If you purchase now with an interest rate in the 5’s or 6’s, it’s important to know that if rates decrease in the future, you may be able to refinance and take advantage of the lower rates to lower your payment. We advise anyone looking to buy a home to stay in touch with us, as we’re actively keeping track of the current market conditions. We can be your biggest asset when figuring out your home buying budget. Reach out today with any questions or concerns! We’re here to guide you to The Smartest Way Home!
