City Skyline Motion

15  Day Closings

Our average timeline from receipt of contract to clear-to-close is 8 days allowing us to be able to perform on shorter timelines and help you win in competitive offer situations!

​

Docs to Title 72 hours in advance

It is our procedure to have closing documents to the title company at least 72 hours in advance eliminating last minute stressors. We will also have final numbers to clients at least 24 hours in advance.

 

Table Funding

Our funds are sent to the title company before closing which means once documents are signed, the title company, listing agents, and seller is able to receive their funds so possession can happen without delay. 

Meet Ashley Ware — the mortgage loan officer bringing boots, bold strategy, and a whole lot of heart to homeownership.

Known around the Kansas City area as “The Line Dancing Lender,” Ashley believes buying a home shouldn’t feel overwhelming or transactional. It should feel exciting, empowering, and maybe even a little fun. Whether she’s hosting community line dancing events or helping families navigate financing, her mission stays the same: bringing people together and helping them move forward with confidence.

​

As a Mortgage Loan Officer with Bench Mortgage serving clients across Kansas and Missouri, Ashley helps homebuyers find financing solutions that fit their goals — from first-time buyers and growing families to self-employed borrowers and homeowners looking for smarter mortgage strategies. Her approach is honest, direct, relationship-driven, and focused on making the process simple and stress-free.

​

From line dancing to lending, Ashley has built a brand centered around community, connection, and helping people take the next step — whether that’s onto the dance floor or into their dream home. Because around here, it’s not just about getting approved.
It’s about helping you feel at home before you even get the keys.
