Kristi – Home Loan Journey with Watson Mortgages

Running a construction business while raising five children means life is already full — but this family was ready for a bigger vision: selling their home and moving to 100 acres for more space, freedom, and a slower pace of life.

What seemed straightforward quickly became complex. Selling privately came with challenges, buyers struggled to secure finance, and purchasing large acreage as self-employed borrowers significantly narrowed their lending options. With land size restrictions, lender policies, and business income to navigate, they needed expert guidance.

That’s when they chose Gary and the team at Watson Mortgages.

By researching the right lenders, tailoring solutions to their unique situation, and staying accessible — even during high-pressure moments — the team helped remove the stress from an otherwise overwhelming process.

Now, their family is thriving on 100 acres. The kids have space for motorbikes and horses, the business has room to grow, and they’re building the lifestyle they envisioned from the start.
