Everton Football Club has joined forces with First Union Mortgages to form Everton Mortgage Services – a service that gives Everton supporters the chance to save money on their mortgages and support their club.
The brand new affinity initiative, negotiated by sports marketing agency Barnstormers Publicity, gives supporters of the Goodison club an opportunity to obtain a mortgage, re-mortgage or loan at some of the most competitive rates on the market. It also benefits Everton financially through an undisclosed up-front payment and a commission structure from all completed Everton mortgage transactions.
Everton Mortgage Services will consider all circumstances including adverse credit, CCJ’s, mortgage or loan arrears, past bankruptcy and all with no upfront fees and valuation costs.
There is also the promise of immediate decisions with all cases handled by a dedicated underwriting and processing team with fast completion schemes.
What’s more Everton benefit directly from every mortgage processed and as a reward successful applicants will receive a free replica shirt signed by an Everton legend.
‘This is an exciting and ground-breaking venture for our company as it allows us to bring together our unique business model and information technology capability with Everton’s loyal and committed fan base’ enthused First Union Managing Director Meir Plancey. ‘The affinity agreement will certainly be mutually beneficial to both parties’
Alistair Saverimutto, Everton Commercial Manager, said: ‘Everton and First Union have teamed up to bring an extensive and very competitive range of mortgage products to our valued Everton supporters. First Union have committed a sizeable advanced investment to the club, with a guaranteed fixed commission for every successful mortgage applied for by our supporters.
‘Our existing affinity relationships already bring excellent value services and products to our supporters with good commissions to the club, and with the new addition of Everton Mortgages the club and supporters can expect continued rewards.’
Adam Brand, First Union’s Sales Director added ‘As a keen football supporter I am aware of the passion shown by Everton supporters, and we are delighted to be able to offer them this unique offer that not only benefits them and the club but also gives all successful applicants a free autographed replica shirt upon completion of their mortgage – something that money can’t buy’
Barnstormers and First Union are now looking to launch similar schemes with other high-profile football clubs.
